Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[LhickenChicken]

Today is the 12th anniversary of my cousin being diagnosed with cancer, and twelve days later she died in hospital.
Hard to forget things like this. Nobody knew she was sick. Her body just quickly shut down.

"Yellow" is not well

Well, now one of the B.O. pullets is not well, wanting to keep her eyes closed and sort of sleep, or tuck her head into her wings while standing. I just posted in the Emergencies forum. She seems very sensitive to light.

Would anyone have any thoughts? Shall I go to the vet with her or have them come here if they can?
Because I did find in the brooder on two separate mornings a bloody poop (and none since), which I thought was intestinal shedding, butu now I wonder, I have treated her with a single dose of powdered Corid solution for her weight (BTW I noticed the expiry date is April 2021, I think that's still okay). But otherwise there's not evidence of coccidiosis (I am doing a fecal float test on her sibling's poop right now.

Oops. sorry, I almost reacted with 'sad' because it is cloudy and 12C here. But good for you and your chooks! Mine don't mind the bad weather.

I will eventually get your weather

Had a chuckle over them flipping leaves over and getting bugs.

It's a good starting point to give the Corid, just in case.

I would contact the Vet tomorrow and see what she says. She might want a fecal so they can run tests.

Thinking good positive thoughts for the wee one

I just looked at the other site, and the poop pic. I also would think the same - normal intestinal shredding.

Guess need to wait to see what anyone says.
