    Mystery Illness, Sick Hen

    Ok I have a mystery illness in one of my hens… I have a flock of 14, they are all 3 years old now. About two months ago I noticed one of my red stars wasn’t pecking around like the rest of the flock, she just stood in the middle of the other hens and shook her head occasionally. When I picked...

    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...
