My chickens have had foul smelling diarrhoea for 3 days, yellowish brown, runny, sometimes a bit lumpy and or foamy, and it TRULY STINKS.
I'm worried they have worms- I've ordered Flubinvet and Coxoid and I really need to know if I can treat with both at the same time? My chickens are otherwise healthy and pottering around. I'd say egg laying is reduced a bit but I haven't beein keeping proper track of this- I will be taking a lot of notice from now onwards.
Side note- they also have what I suspected was mild bumblefoot - very slightly swollen toes/pads with black scab in the middle. I tried soaking in Epson salts and picking off the scab to squeeze out any infection but it was dry inside. I used magnesium sulphate paste and bandaged, I'll be doing that every evening now.
Please can anyone advise?
