Hello,
I’m fairly new to chickens and the last 3 months are so I’ve been loosing some birds and can’t figure out why. Over the course of about 3 weeks they start to self isolate and seem to just slowly waist away until they get so weak I have to cull them. They all seem to still be eating and drinking, but they are still just waisting away. They have plenty of room and I clean the coop regularly. They’re on a non gmo feed and I add some supplements to one of the waterers.
Any ideas? I’m assuming it could be a host of things but it’s starting to be a real bummer.
They have been dewormed. I did have a worm problem a while back but I feel like I have that under control.
So I have noticed the sick birds have had a very green colors poop compared to the rest of the flock and it tends to be runny and not solid.

-All my chickens are between 6-9 moths oldHow old are the chickens?
How many hens/roosters do you have?
What do you feed including treats? (name of feed)
You dewormed them. (name of dewormer, dose and duration of treatment)
Have you added any new birds in the last 30 days?
What, if any, treatments/remedies other than vitamins, ACV and a dewormer have you administered?
Have you separated out sick birds and given individual care or left them with the flock?
Any coughing, sneezing, facial swelling?
Any lice or mites?
Does this mean they always have plain water available too?I add some supplements to one of the waterers.
Does that still apply if they also have a source of plain water?What are they? all supplements should not being given long term.
Probably not as much but most people don't have another waterer.Does this mean they always have plain water available too?
Does that still apply if they also have a source of plain water?
I thought it was fine to give chickens a choice (plain water or water with supplement), but could cause trouble if they were forced to drink the supplement all the time (no option for plain water.)
Looks like whole loose feed, do you provide grit as well?-All my chickens are between 6-9 moths old
-I'm currently down to only 4 hens
-I Feed them soy free non gmo from homestead harvest. I occasionally throw some scratch out or ferminted a feed scratch mix and give it to them a few times a month.
-I have dewormed them I used a course of pour on ivermetic followed by Equimax paste
-I haven't really tried much else
-I haven't separated the birds
- No coughing, sneezing or swelling, just pale combs
-haven't seen any lice or mites
Can you please post photos of the birds, their poop and of their housing?
