Thank you i thought so too.
Thank you i will see. I have had the flock on oregano ool in their water for the past week bc oregano oil is supposed to help with this. So far everybody else seems ok
Oh no! It’s so hard to lose a hen that you care about! I haven’t lost one yet but the thought is to hard to think about. I’m so sorry your hen sounded sweet!
So i found fresh yellow foamy poop in the barn this morning. So yeah its confirmed. What can i do? I want to deworm the flock but i think there are chicks in the flock that are too young for dewormer? 4 1/2 weeks and they are still with their mother. Of course i picked up the poop and disposed of it. I had 1st Saturday Limethat i used after i discovered Sheena was sick but in all the stress now i cant find it. Would Denagard help at all? I know its for Mycoplasma but it can be used to target avian intestinal spirochetes so would it be any use? They are still acting ok so i'm trying to hurry and do as much as i can. I called the vet too but have not heard back. Help, help please!
To confirm, you need to look at the hen's liver.
No, it will not help.
Thats good to know its not confirmed but im trying to be proactive regardless of what it is
If I were you, I would dig her up and do the necropsy.
I talked to our avian vet and she said not to do that. If another bird dies, she says she will do a necropsy for me. Which I prefer. I also discovered that a friend of mine who has a large flock, revealed two days ago to me that she had had a lot deaths in her flock. Today i asked her what the symptoms were and what color their droppings were. Well, yeah. She had to go look but then reported Lethargy and "mustard colored" droppings. She was at our place ten days ago. Wonderful. Since she said she's had a lot of deaths over the past few weeks, and we have had none except yesterday, I'm pretty sure that she brought it here, but hard to say for sure. Not sure why she didn't think to mention it before now....but she doesn't really care about her birds.
Yellow foamy poop is worms?
Yellow foamy poop is a symptom of Blackhead disease. I've never seen poop like that in our flock, although we've had worms before. We deworm our flock regularly. I only saw it the one time, have not seen it since, so idk.
