Chickens dying, at a loss

Worming might be a good idea, though I’ve never wormed mine.

Sounds pretty healthful and straight forward. Any chance it went moldy? Do they also get oyster shell and grit?

They have both readily available. I didn’t notice it being moldy. I mainly feed them and am out in the coop/pen every day. I just want to figure out what they are passing around and get rid of it! Especially before the new chicks come!

The only thing I’ve used for that is diatomaceous earth mixed with their food. But again was told I was wasting my time if I didn’t see worms in their poop. I’ll try anything, within reason, to figure it out.

That’s what I thought and asked about.

Should we eat the eggs while giving Corrid? Keep reading conflicting answers.

I ate the eggs from my hens while on a Corrid flush and they were perfectly fine

Thanks. Do you remember the dosage you gave? I’m reading 1.5 teaspoons per gallon of water (powder).

That dosage is correct

If you’re in the US, you could always call your state’s veterinarian to get a necropsy performed. It’s the most accurate way to know why your birds are dying.

I thought about that, but didn’t know where to look. I’ll search for the state vet. Thank you!

Also sanitize everything - don't wear your Coop shoes away from home. Do keep a closed flock. This sounds serious.
