coccidiosis

I got my first quails about two weeks ago, two female coturnix quails. They were seven or eight weeks old at the time. When they arrived, they were not eating enough, standing with ruffled feathers and eyes closed almost all day. I thought it was because of the recent change of home. They became...

I have been battling coccidiosis that keeps coming back (blood in stool) in one or two (out of 23) birds. Corid helps for a bit then after a couple weeks of no corid the blood comes back. So I got a sulfadimethoxine powder that is 25% medicine. I don’t want to dose them all because they don’t...

Hiya, So I have a small flock of chickens (3 hybrids about 8months old and 2 pekin bantams about 6months old) and all has been fine until today...I was cleaning the coop out and noticed some liquidy poo which I thought was just ceacal poo - I look in it and saw a few large worms inside! After a...

Looking for input/advice on possible issues with our rooster, Willie. He was acting off yesterday (was staying under coop more than usual but it was cool in the morning and rainy in the evening) and seemed to have a little bit of a wheeze yesterday evening. We decided to separate him, and...

I’ve been battling coccidiosis for a while now. My chicks got it and had to be treated twice because it came back. Once they seemed ok they were integrated with the rest and they got it. I gave them all 2 tsp of powder in 5 qts for 8 days, changing water daily. Now a week after stopping I’m...

I've had this chick for about a year and a half now and she used to have red feathers. She started to molt in the summer and she only started growing white feathers. I noticed she got kind of small compared to the other chickens, I assumed that was normal for her, don't know a lot about...

My BO has bloody feathers around her vent this morning and I found a single bloody poo in the coop. She’s behaving fine and her poos now look completely normal. She’s not laying yet, but should be getting close. I’m not sure what to do. Could it be coccidiosis with just one bloody poo or is it...

I have a 6 month old bantam polish hen that should signs of Coccidiosis. I first noticed something off when she didn’t come running with the flock to greet me. She’s always been high energy and a bit of a spaz. Spending time with the flock, I noticed her just standing, not Foraging, and she even...

Hello, My name is Kassie. I am new to raising chickens. We received our 7 new chicks via USPS on Monday the 9th. They are so small and needy. Right now we have them in a Rubbermaid we converted into a brooder and are having issues with the heat lamp. Its giving off too much heat. I've raised...

I have 5 baby chicks about 1.5 months old. At least one (the smallest, a dark Brahma) has some watery white stool with traces or orangish red, started sept 7. All chickens including the smallest are frolicking around, eating and drinking normally. My neighbor said it’s probably coccidiosis. I’m...

I have about 30 chicks in my barn and just yesterday I noticed poop that seemed a little bloody. Sure enough i confirmed it to be bloody poop today. (Im used to seeing intestinal shedded poop). I have Corid and will start, but can someone help me confirm dosage? And would it help at all to feed...

I have four hens and added a Easter egger pullet to my flock, from the same breeder the rest of my girls come from, two and a half weeks ago. Four or five days after getting her she had red in her droppings but otherwise seemed OK. I spoke to my "Chicken guy" who thought she may have picked up...

I am hoping someone can help me! I have (6) 6 day old silkie chicks. I received them 8/30 and one was just noisy as can be, so I checked her out and noticed one of her eyes was just half way open. I would say it also looks a bit more swollen than the other. I wiped with warm water, and have been...

Hey, my dad hatched these new baby chicks 6-7 weeks ago and recently placed them outside....4-5 days ago. They usually run up to my hand or run around their cage, but this one little chick started laying around. Sometimes I find her sitting in the sun or in the shade. She doesn't walk very...

I posted earlier this weekend about sick chicks... well so far I’ve lost all but one. I’m heartbroken. I got undiluted Corid down him and the other two still remaining but they both died and this little rooster is still going. He’s even standing up and was sitting on top of his water earlier...

I had 5 chicks hatch May 25 of this year. I have had zero problems with them until yesterday. I believe they have coccidiosis and I will explain why later in this post. When I noticed them acting lethargic I started Corid treatment, mixing it in their water and I left them alone to drink it. I...

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...

Please Help! Does anyone know if chickens can get sick and die from possibly coccidiosis that may have turned into a respiratory infection? I’ve lost several chickens from possibly coccidiosis over the last week but the last 2 that died had large masses on their eye. One died before I...

I have 4 chickens that are 14 weeks old. This morning, There was a splatter poop with blood on the ramp into the coop. There was also bloody splatter under the roosting bar they sleep on. I went to TSC and bought some corid. Just mixed it into the water: 2 teaspoons into a gallon of...

Hi all! I've read a lot of conflicting information on when to switch chicks from a medicated starter to an unmedicated starter/grower. Our chickens are currently 11 weeks old, and have been on Manna Pro's medicated starter from the beginning. We put them in their outdoor coop/run at 4 weeks (so...
