Looking for any ideas on what might be going on. We brought 4 new pullets into our flock. 2 cream legbar and 2 EE's. The EE's are older by a few weeks. I have now lost both legbar. Both seemed to have the same symptoms. Also a few from my older flock seem a bit off. There was red in the pullets poo and we treated for coccidiosis. I didn't treat the older girls as they aren't integrated yet.
Then one of the legbar started deteriorating quickly. Very lethargic, weak and we culled to end her suffering. Now, about 2 -3 weeks later, her sister started being lethargic and weak, white discharge at the end. She passed away on her own today. Was breathing heavily before hand.
As for my older hens, they have started having some red in their poo, occasional white watery poo. All seem to have stopped laying eggs but I don't know if that's the cold or sickness.
They all have come in contact with the same ground. I keep everything very clean and try to spoil them. I'm so sad and trying to figure out what is happening.
I've been giving vitamin water and probiotic water.
Please, if you have any info...
I have bought some antibiotics in case but they have not arrived before I lost my baby today.
I worry about the EE's because they've been housed with the ones that passed away.
Should I treat again? I'm so confused.
