Cute Cute Cute but I would love for you to tell us if that little dark one up high in the back turns out to be a cockerel...little brat
Nikkon I have a girl who started out laying normally and did so for about 6 weeks.  Then she laid an enormous egg in an egg and has never laid more than a handful of normal eggs since.  She lays membrane only eggs at night on the poo tray, has laid really thin shelled eggs on the ground many times and has gone for months without laying anything.  She will sit in the nest box for hours and produce nothing.  It makes me sad for her.  I hope your EE girl lays normally soon. 

Olive layed for a few months and had an early henopause
She is still around not laying.

 Kathy, thank you for all the work you went to in creating the proper dosage documents in your tag line.  I sat down to do the math and partially through creating a formula, I remembered your documents!  Thank you so much!

I'm a little unclear on one subject.  Should Corrid and Amporlium (okay I butchered that word) be applied together?  

A side note:

My broody house showed multiple bloody poos on Saturday PM.  There was no way to identify which chicks because it looked like they all had it.

My FIL treats Cocci his organic grass-fed cattle with Fastrack brand probiotics.  I'm a distributor and used it successfully (with a special gel) in working with dogs and puppies.  When the chicks showed up with Cocci, I had less than a teaspoon left (1/3 tsp treats 1 gallon).  I went to 2 places Saturday night looking for Corrid and came up empty.

@Coopcommander
 kept telling me that it worked for Grandpa.  SO, I decided to give it a try and trust the product to work.  After all, I'd seen it work multiple times in puppies.  

Sunday, the bloody stool was nearly all gone.

I'm treating the chicks because it looks like 2 are still affected.  I'm impressed.  I much prefer a probiotic as an immune builder to medication because I believe that it creates stronger chickens in the long run.

I found bloody stool in the SFH pen so the Cocci is everywhere.  

Since I ran out of the Fastrack probiotics, I'm treating everything with Corrid.  

The quick results lead me to believe that we could have avoided this outbreak had the chickens been given their Fastrack like I know they are supposed to.  I think since my Grandpa died and I got sick that they didn't have a single dose (roughly 6 weeks).  That'll teach me!  Going to have to create a checklist for when the kids are doing chores.  I was just happy the chickens were being fed and watered but they really need more care than that.

Great story what the heck is fasttrack?

It's a direct marketing organic probiotic brand that has been around for over 40 years. Californian's don't know much about it but the midwesterners recognize the brand and use it.

There is species specific stuff (I used to work mostly with the dogs) and there is the basic liquid dispersable which is what I was using for the chickens. It made me so happy to see that it did work! The chicks never slowed down their eating, drinking or zipping around.

corid is Amporlium

It can be given up to 7 times the normal dose with no problems.

Thank you! I couldn't tell - very tired tonight. So the medicated feed is pre-treated with Corrid. Big ah ha! moment.

Yeah!!!!! I am rooting for the Marans too! Tomorrow is lockdown for my next clutch. Hopefully they will start hatching whil I am at the Red Bluff show....

happy to report that the one remaining marans, after a LONG wait, is finally out! peeping wildly -- will wait til it fluffs up a bit, move over to the brooder (there will now be a total of 22 chicks in there of varying ages, pure mayhem), give the RCom a bit of a rinse inside, and then get the shipped isbar eggs back in quickly, they started on friday & can now finally incubate in peace...

Dear Chickee, Capayvalleychick, Mendocinosunris, Lawatt, Happy Chooks, and Audio51,

I would like to thank you for your kind comments, and helpful information. Unfortunately, I am having difficulty with single and multi quota feature in my account, which made it impossible for me to respond individually.

I wish you a wonderful day : )

Lual....you will get the hang of it. I just recently learned how to do the multi quote thing too.

Quote: I got to go 2 years ago I LOVE the expo! This year my man will be back I hope to go again. I went by myself with 3 kids and my 3 year old did not want to walk and I forgot my stroller and had one arm full of stuff.. so I had little to no fun. He was on his leash and made me drag him.. literally He would not stay on his feet. He would just lay down face fist. Next time I am taking the stroller and not going alone.
