Thanks (and @Ponypoor too). It's a family member, not me / not here, but yes, really serious and very distressing.Meanwhile, I have a young BR that comes running whenever she sees me, pecks my leg or arm for attention, and is chatting all the time to me. She lets me pick her up...but does expect an extra treat for the honour of her presence.
George (as in Curious George) is immediately what came to mind with her personality. I didn't feel comfortable calling her 'George' even though it fit....so I call her Georgie. I think she now knows her name, but it is hard to tell as she comes when she hears me talking - so is it just my voice, or that she knows her name????![]()
Regardless, she is a real chatty Cathy!!! And she makes my heart sing when she chooses to get snuggles
@ChicoryBlue If you can look past the slightly aggressiveness of Dian-Ida....I think it is so sweet that she needs your attention - an dI hope you are successful in 'taming' her without her loosing her 'forward' personality, nor her love for you.
Hope all is going well - or at least better - at your place. One of your recent posts made me a bit concerned!![]()

I don't know how much intestinal inflammation / lesions heal. Maybe completely? The gut wall can be "compromised" in active infection (which can lead to other opportunistic infections) so it's at least temporarily damaged. How much permanent damage is done I don't really know. Depends on the extent and length of infection until it's cleared? I imagine that the body's efforts to clear it, & cordon off the inflammation could cause a change in structure like scarring. But I haven''t read or heard specifically that coccidiosis does this. I wonder about it like @BY Bob didI wondered about there being two shells. Perhaps, but Pip is also the one who laid the record biggest egg at 84 grams and then broke that record a few days later with one that was 85. Both were double yolks.
What damage does coccidiosis do to the inside of a chicken? I've never seen anything about that, just that it's deadly, but thankfully easy to treat.
Pip was the smallest of the chicks when they arrived; I don't know if that has anything to do with her issues either. She seems to be a fighter!
