    Turkey with strange posture and head ducking

    My female Bourbon Red is not looking good. I lost two to this same thing last year. She stands very upright and bobs her head. Someone said it could be Coccidia. I treated the flock last week, but there's still signs of it in the run. We live in Hawaii, and it's very warm and wet here. If...

    Proper method for quarantine/treating half feral chick before flock integration

    I ended up with a barnyard mix chick that I think has been living a half feral life (long story). What are the steps I need to do to quarantine and make sure this chick doesnt get/transfer any bad coccidia/parasites, etc.? Im thinking medicated feed, a few pinches of prozap under the wings and...

    Cecal Poop or Something Concerning?

    A few of our 12-week-old chickens are having yellowish poops (sometimes foamier, sometimes more pudding-like than pictured), but are otherwise eating, drinking, and acting energetic. Their combs are all as red as usual. We have also seen them each take normal poops in between the scarier looking...

    Coccidia Info Needed

    Our two month old chicks have been eating medicated chick starter since we got them at 2 days old. Today one of them started acting lethargic, broody, and was pooping blood so we took them to the vet and it was confirmed she has coccidia. It's not a very severe case, apparently we caught it...

    Newbie here

    Hi all, I finally joined BYC ! Ive had chickens most of my life, just got 6 three week old chicks today after going without for two years. Ive been a vet tech for over 30 years, so naturally first thing I did when I got them home was run a fecal (I have a home lab). I found a few coccidia and a...

    Sick Chicken - Possible Gapeworm, Coccidia...

    I have an Olive Egger hen who has been yawning (as if something is stuck in her throat) regularly for the past few days. Other than the yawning, she was very active, eating well, etc. However, today I saw her sleeping/resting more than normal, and when feeding mealworms she was not as excited...

    What should be first?

    Long time no see, BYC! I'm going to make this post short and sweet lol. What should I treat first? Worms or coccidia? We had devastating flooding, it brought in a bunch of crap. I noticed some thinner chickens today and thought I should treat them to be safe. I have corid(liquid) and...

    Cocci??

    I got these quail from another breeder and it appeared they had arrived with cocci? Despite keeping them completely separate from my birds and washing my hands before going into cages, I think they caught it too. I got a hold of some Amrprolium and mixed it accurately in their water. Mixed a...

    Coccidia and how to clean the run

    I live in Oregon where it is very rainy. My outdoor run is 10 x 20 with half the run full of turkey grit due to the amount of mud. I am on my second round of coccidia in the last six months so I am curious if I need to somehow disinfect my run? It is not covered so the rain has been washing down...

    Is it too cold for parasites?

    At what temperature do worms or Coccidia become active? We’ve had roller coaster weather, and have had a bit of snow melt the last two days but it’s going to be freezing tonight & subzero again this week. Of course the chickens poop in the melting snow, then drink from the puddles (yuck). I try...

    Intestinal shedding, Coccidia or invermectin side effect?

    Hello people, please help! I have 4 chickens that I help take care of at work and recently I found there poop with this orange/red color in it. I am worried that it might be coccidia although it doesn’t look like the other photos I have see for this disease, could it be intestinal shedding? Two...

    Hen down 3 weeks Coccidiosis??

    I have been treating my frizzle Cochin hen inside my house for 3 weeks now. Every month I lose a bird, I find them laying down, weak and very thin, can’t stand. It’s very sudden as I usually see my birds every other day. If It’s not too late, I bring them in and start treating them with Corrid...

    When is an asymptomatic adult chicken “overloaded” with Coccidia?

    Hi all, I just got some fecal results back from a lab and one hen had a coccidia count of 60 - I’m wondering what this means and if I should even treat, because some of what I’m reading online says adult chickens often have some coccidia eggs in their system. This is a Rhode Island Red who is...

    Weak, thin pullet. Is this coccidia?

    Edie couldn't walk this morning and she is very thin. She is about 14 weeks old I think. She is housed with three other pullets. I though some poop looked suspect, so I treated their water with Corid (5 days strong dose, 5 days the preventive dose). I couldn't tell who was the sick one because...

    Coccidiostats in poultry feed

    Can natural coccidiostats contained in commercial poultry feed cure chickens with coccidiosis? Can we eat meat or eggs when natural coccidiostats are contained in feed?

    What is this? Update: Suspected cecal core excretion - coccidia

    I have a white Marans chick born on July 23rd, who became very sick on Thursday. She was listless, lethargic and completely puffed out. We called the only local avian vet but he’s on vacation so went with corid treatment and didn’t think she was going to make it given how I’ll she seemed. By...
