Cochins passing pure blood - Cocci Kills

This is exactly why anything I bring home now goes on preventive dose Corid water for a week. It's devastating to lose them when they're old enough that they "should" be fine. Been there, done that, sadly.

This is actually a good idea. Worming new birds is too.

I may put him out of his misery. It's just so bad. He's all alone now.

I am so sorry!

Can you send one in for a Necropsy?

This is the best way to see what killed them and help with future treatment

I don't think this is an option for Cy.

Yes, deworming and a permethrin dip are part of my quarantine too.

Send a poo sample in to a lab? Here we can send them to 4 labs in the state. There are different costs per test. A float test for worms is about $15.00

I like your routine. Unfortunately most people don't realize this is a good idea until it's too late.

The pullet died last night. The cockerel looks like he'll join her today.
He is unresponsive to treatment.

Very sorry.

If it's not an option one could do their own necropsy.

I had a person get very mad at me recently about this topic. Person brought home a hen with a swollen eye and gait issues. I suggested that they should be quarantined to observe and figure out issues--Mareks could be a cause.

OP thought quarantine was not needed because the place the hens came from was clean and the flock was well kept.

Always Quarantine! Bio Security is very important. I have see a lot of threads where people brought illness to their flock this way

I'm so, so sorry.
