3rd sick pullet.

I cleaned up their poops and threw them away since I didn't know what was wrong. I can take pictures of the the other chickens poops that are in the same group.

Thanks again.  I have the rest on it too since yesterday.  I have the liquid.  The 21 day treatment on the bottle is 8oz per 100 gallons, .48 teaspoon per gallon.  Since the chicken was sick I was affraid too strong right away might be hard on her.  The 5 day treatment is 16oz per 100 gallons, .96 teaspoon.  I have a teaspoon in the other chickens water.  If I add another teaspoon, that won't be too much?

Cattle get less, they get the .012% level which is 1 teaspoon, which is also the recommended amount for a "moderate" outbreak in poultry. I would treat with the severe amount which is .024% and that is two teaspoons. I would also give each one a drop orally.

I can't tell much, 'cause the picture is too small for my old eyes, lol, but if it's foamy it's not normal.

I don't think it's foamy. Just runny and tan.

Sounds likea good plan. I usually them a half dose for a week when I put them outside for the first time in the pen next to my older chickens. I clean the pens first but there has always been someone there before. I cut it to a quarter for another week. SO far no problems outside. Inside, Iwasn't expecting. I do have a house turkey but he can't get into their pen.

Some might say that's normal cecal poop and it might be if they have looked like this for weeks and there aren't too many of them, but if a chick poops like that more often than not, it's probably coccidiosis. Read the info in this link and let me know if you still have questions about Corid dosing.

All of my chickens outside seem healthy. I have 2 gimpy pullets in a seperate container in another room. They are fine too. I put boards around the pen just in case the are cold. I have noticed they have needed more heat from the beginning. My house is about 69-71' all of the time. I don't think they should still need any heat lamps. They aren't under them all of the time. There is a Marans pullet that is very tiny. I thought it was genetic. It seems healthy otherwise. The other pullet is much larger and the cockerells are huge.

This link has amprolium dosing for poultry. Corid and Amprol are the same thing.

Are you still feeding the layer pellets? If say so, I think you better change it to chick starter as soon as possible.

And, on the poop picuture, It seemed to me like that is too wet for chicks to live..
Wet and warm environment trigger them to have cocciodis or necrotizing enteritis to thrive.





We kept them in the dry and warm place all the time..

I read you have raised so many chickens though.. but your chicks are sick to die so I want to tell you any possible things that hurt your chicks to avoid such a disaster.

It is not about the size.

I'm not really sure what you are saying. I don't know how to make a chicks poop not so wet. They are in my house, like I said, in pine shavings, like I said, they are dry. There is nothing wet but the water in the water container and it is raised off of the pine shavings so it doesn't make them wet. And I am guessing you haven't read the previous posts. I know about the food.

What isn't about size? I am sorry put I am very confused about your posts.
