For the year and a half we have been raising chickens, we have not had to deal with illness unfortunately until now.
Our favorite hen has been sick for at least a week (that I have noticed). Here are some symptoms:
- doesn't leave the coop much (usually find her sitting near the door just watching the other hens)
- very skinny (weighed her last night at 2.2 lbs)
- stopped laying eggs
- pale comb
- green and yellow poop
- clear bubbly mucus in mouth
-droopy tail
This was last Wednesday
Bought some Corid yesterday morning even though have no idea if this could be coccidiosis or not.
We let our chickens out to free range about 30 min before dark, and yesterday she was sitting on our back patio steps while the rest had already gone back in the coop. Brought her inside and noticed she is eating and drinking. This was this morning:
We do have dogs, a cat, rabbits, and a duck... Not sure if that matters. Any help would be greatly appreciated. We really do not want to lose her!
