This morning when I went out, my 7 week old Cochin was puffed out and unwell plus she had bloody poop. I ran in and checked online, sounded like cocci. I treated her for it with Sulmet and when I went back out to check about 30 minutes later, she had a convulsion and died on my feet.
It's getting worse... I had 9 seven week olds, I now have 3. All doing the same thing. Puffed out feathers, sitting in one place, bloody poop and before they die, they go into a convulsion then just collapse.
I've called every vet within an hour or hour and a half drive and none of them know anything about chickens and none of them will treat them, of course.
To make matters worse, these guys have been hanging out in my 6 month old pullets' coop during the day while they're out free-ranging. Tonight, I don't know about letting my pullets back in! Should I clorox out the coop? It has a concrete floor, etc...
Please help, I really don't want to lose another nor do I want to lose my beloved older pullets
