6 Week Old Pullet Smells Bad *Update: Cocci or Coryza?*

Nah I don't think you are, something is not right...

When I hold her, I can feel the bone that is in the middle of her underside. Is this normal? She's mostly feather.

 

[Malibu99]

I should just go get a video of her... It's easier to explain that way.

 

[amillecay]

Yes it is

Good idea i though about that and never asked you...

i had a 7 week old that smell bad.but at the time i was treating the whole flock for cocci.that was two weeks ago.now she just smells like a chicken.

 

[Malibu99]

That's Petrie. Notice the tail and head.

 

[amillecay]

I see well she doesn't look too bad right now what ever it is i think you'll just have to wait it out and see what happens :/

I would treat the whole bunch with Corid. Petrie looks like she has the classic coccidia stance. You do not have to see blood in the poo..as a matter of fact, if you do, it is usually too late to treat as the coccidia has damaged the intestines to the point of bleeding. You can buy corid at most feed stores. You put it in her water for 5 - 7 days. She will start acting happier almost immediately. Do not be tempted to stop treatment early.

Add some yogurt to her diet or some probiotics to help with rebuilding her good intestinal bacteria. Coccidia can prove fatal quickly so start treatment as soon as possible.

Darn. Forgot to isolate her. BRB.
