Hi ya'll!
I'm in Northeast Central AL, Pell City. War Eagle & Roll Tide since we are a "mixed" family!

I raise Buff Orpingtons and have 14 hens and 2 roos.
Getting from 8 to 15 eggs daily right now and needing to build another coop so I can get more girls. Would love to try the Cukoo Marans or Wyandottes.
Welcome to the group all you new chicken lovers!

Quote:
Diarrhea in chicks may or may not mean coccidiosis. You can buy medicines to treat this (like di-methox), but I don't know that I'd do that unless I was sure it was coccidiosis. A more natural approach would be a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar per quart of drinking water, but mild diarrhea isn't all that abnormal. If my chicks were to get diarrhea, I'd take a wait-and-see attitude as long as they acted normal.

(sorry for answering a question meant for someone else
