Good morning I have a 2-year-old hen that has had diarrhea. The first picture is where we started. It was mostly water with a small amount of stool. I did also notice at this time she seemed to be drinking a lot of water. (The stool in the background is from the other chicks.) She is still eating though it was decreased in the beginning. I have her in the house now and have completed a 5-day round of Corid. 10 ml/gal (There was yellow foamy stool in the yard at times. Unsure from who.) The second pic is where we are today. The third pic is immediately after the 2nd pics. She pooped back-to-back. Her comb is pale compared to her sisters and she is underweight. She is still active and eating a good amount of food now that I have had her in the house. I did observe the flock pushing her out of the food and not letting her eat. She was also not getting up on the normal roost bar at night because the other girls would push her off. She still has fight in her though. We have named her Kung Foo Panda because she rooster kicks ya when you go in to clean the cage. LOL! She is nicer now, but those first few days were challenging. We have come to an understanding.
I am going back to work but will check back in this evening. Thanks in advance for all the help!
I feed the Kalmbach layer pellets as a free feed and then twice a day they get some Kalmbach Hen house reserve. I stopped giving her the Reserve today to see if that is what is causing the soft stool.
All other chickens stool seems normal. They were also treated with Corid at the same time.
Questions :
Should I deworm her longer with the Corid?
Should I try a different dewormer?
Should I do a round if Aqusol and if so How long should I wait after doing the Corid?
Any other thoughts of what it could be and what I can do. I do work at a veterinary office and can order in most meds. Just not sure what to do next.
