Ended BYC Poultry Knowledge Quiz - Win Prizes!

[007Sean]

Thank you, this is very helpful! So how do you know which it is? Try corid and if it doesn't work quickly, head to a vet for antibiotics?

Edited to add: My flock responded to corid so I assume it was the coddidia. But I want to know what to expect if cocci shows up. My chicken journey from 2019 through March 2021 was smooth sailing. And then since the end of March, I've dealt with: killer buffalo gnats, lice, raccoons tearing up the run, coccidiosis, and worms. At this point, I'm like okay, what is the universe going to throw at my chickens next and I will prepare for everything that could go wrong.

This is the reason I stress strict...BIOSECURITY, BIOSECURITY, BIOSECURITY and SANITATION, SANITATION, SANITATION protocols.

That is super interesting to me! I never would have guessed Histomoniasis.

Is there a particular reason why? Is it because most people are less hands on with their turkeys and peafowl and it just goes unnoticed?

I don't know why turkeys and peafowl are more susceptible to it. I have some great necropsy pictures if anyone is interested.
