coccidiosis

Our vet ran a fecal test on our 6 month old chicken & found cocci. He prescribed albon, but she really seems to hate it and since starting it, she’s stopped eating at all, has developed head twitches, and is closing her eyes more. Otherwise, her condition remains the same (lethargic, unable to...

Hello! I've noticed a bit of red / pink in in the general poop in the coop. I know it is normal for birds to have some red in their poop, I've seen it before. Just wanted to make sure this isn't anything I should be worried about. The potential bird(s) affected have already been in quarantine...

My 1.5 y/o BO is just coming out of a major molt and a de-worming. For a while I had noticed her poops were watery and oftentimes contained undigested grass, or in one case a whole sunflower seed. Since the de-worming (gave second round of Valbazen 3 days ago) she her issues persist. Here's some...

Hello! I have 25 broiler birds in a mobile chicken tractor that gets fresh bedding daily, and moved 1 time every 2-3 days. I noticed this this morning, is this bloody stool? I don’t notice any other symptoms other than it sounds like there is one bird that is wheezing when it breathes. I’m...

(Pictures provided below.) One of my 7 laying hens has been extremely lethargic and listless for the past couple of days. I first noticed it when I let them out the other day to roam while supervised (I have a large caged in run I keep them in, adequate feed and water). After they all ran out...

My 6 chickens came down with this shortly after I introduced 4 ducks into the mix in my backyard. 1 has died. The first one who I noticed was sick. They are 1 1/2 years. I found the dose for the “drench” with corrid and I gave this to a chicken that was laying down and closing her eyes. I’ve...

Background on what has been going on can be found here This is my girl Alfredo who was the sickest of all six. Again, I’m new at this, so during the watery green diarrhea issue I did not check her crop right away. Eventually I discovered that she had an impacted crop which I treated immediately...

Dear BYC community - We are new chicken owners - have read many books and posts but when confronted with a sick pullet, we don't have experience to guide us! We have 4 pullets, ages 6-9 weeks, and have had them for 10 days. They are in an enclosed coop (with enclosed run) outside, so with some...

Watery diarrhea (seen both yellowish and green w clear whitish), somewhat lethargic, comb turning pale, not eating as much, drinking corrid solution 2 tsp per gallon because it seemed like coccidiosis. She is on third day of treatment and is now roosting but still doesn’t seem too much better...

Is there anything else I can give to help this chick pull through? ok so today my 8 week old light sussex mix is the one that is lethargic, weak and sleepy 😟 - Started off with watery puddle stools mixed with something bright yellow but later in the afternoon it's blood plus something that...

:( Long story short: We lost a new Sussex chick to coccidiosis last night. We purchased it with two other 5wk olds from McMurray Hatchery. It was less than 1/2 the size of the other two, and not eating or drinking, right out of the box. Being new to raising chickens (we also have 3 young hens...

All 7 of my chickens are 15 months old and appear healthy (visually)--eating, drinking, moving around, etc. However I noticed a small amount of gelatinous blood in two small wet poops (kinda discharge-y looking) presumably from one of my birds. Looked more like blood than intestinal lining...

We purchased 4 Orpington girls from My Pet Chicken and they arrived mid June a day old. We also had gotten a couple older Orpington girls from a friend who were a little older. The two older ones were vaccinated for coccidiosis and the others had medicated starter which I stopped giving at...

Hi I think I may already know but having never had this in 15 years wanted to get some feedback. Have one adult and three younger hens about 7 weeks old become ill: Lathargic, fluffed up off food and standing still alot. May have found some diarea. Breathing seems fine, adult wormed...

I'm hoping someone can help me - I would SO appreciate it! We are fairly new chicken owners and have never had any health issues in my flock before. I have four hens (3 BA & 1BO) that I've had since they were 9 weeks old; they're now almost 1-1/2 years old. Last Monday we brought home 6...

Help I was suppose to be giving a rooster away to his new home to a new flock on Wednesday but found today that he has coccidiosis! ): obviously I don’t want the other persons flock to be sick to either way I would tell them to quarantine but should I just tell them I want to treat him first...

Hello, I've noticed nighttime poops from one of my hens intermittently has what looks like blood around the outside of the white part. She is going on 15 months old, otherwise acting healthy (normal appetite, normal energy levels, etc.). Should I treat for cocci? I was planning to start...
