Have you changed all the bedding? You should also make sure food and water dish are well cleaned with soap

Yes, changed it all and sprayed the brooder, water dish, food dish, etc. with Oxine. Will have to do it again later because they are still passing bloody poos. Sigh...

I am so sorry!

The sod is for when they are very little. I see that Deanne gave advice and I agree about cleaning.

I have not used Sulmet but with corid you give them half the dose after the initial treatment. The first treatment kills the coci and the second at half dose helps them to build immunity. Coci is everywhere so you cannot get rid of it. The chickens have to build up resistance to it. It is not usually a problem after 16 weeks or so.

I hope it works quickly!

I have a 17 week old roo that has yet to crow, but was just singing the egg laying song. Has every trait of a roo, saddle feathers and all. Is this normal?

Hey Deerling and Chiquita, if you are both in Novato sometime I'd love to join you for lunch too. LOL

I would love that! Do you guys want to plan something? I'll have my kids with me, although there's always a chance I could drop them off at work with Mark for an hour or so

The little one is in a stage where I do a lot of chasing around.

One for each of the sick ones.

Stay strong sweet chickies! So sorry to hear they're sick. No fun to worry like that

I'm not sure how normal it is, but I've definitely seen other people say their roos sing the egg song.

They will sing the egg song along with the girls!

What breed? Do you have a picture.

All 5 of my boys the sing egg song and I've got hens that occasionally crow.

DD wanted lunch after we finished small animal fair. We drove through Dairy Queen, of course someone had to crow while waiting. The cashier didn't believe we had 17 birds in the van,(7 of those were chicks). Next time KFC, just to mess with them, wonder if anyone would crow then!
