Help! My chicken is lethargic and I don’t know why!

[Northshorechickens]

Are the others her age laying eggs yet?
You mention she was vaccinated, what was that Marek's or Coccidiosis?

I would still start her on the Corid.

she was vaccinated for both as a chick...

no they are not laying eggs yet

should i give corid to all of them then?

You can give the Corid to all of them if you wish, it won't hurt them.

i will probably start that tomorrow and see if she makes it until tomorrow, i suspected that she ate something sharp and therefore the first stool was bloody(which might have cut her insides) and then every stool after that has been white like this which i suspected was pus

northshorechickee, what do you think of giving the pullet some Poultry Nutri-Drench for extra strength while she deals with this problem?
Best,
Karen

I need help with my Male chicken he's been sounding hoarse I am pretty sure he has a sour throat what can I do ? he's been like this for 2 days

Do you think she ate a nail or something?
Is her crop emptying overnight?

The poop is that of a sick chicken, it's hard to know if it's Coccidiosis or not. Getting a fecal float and gram stain to find out more information is always best.

i tried corid and it is not changing anything its been two days and no results, by results i mean theres no change in appetite or movement. I'm so confused regarding this hen

I just read back through this thread. You don't need to worry about her ingesting sharp granite grit or oyster shell. If she didn't have access to anything else that is sharp (like a screw), that is probably not the issue. Has she ever laid an egg? She does not look mature enough for that yet, but just double checking. If there is any chance she is of laying status, I would give her a human calcium citrate pill just in case (to help her muscles contract to help pass what may be in her reproductive tract).
Here's another possibility... a bacterial or fungal infection in her GI tract. Has she had access to a soggy compost pile?

Do you have any updated photos of your pullet?
Taking a sample of her poop for testing is a good idea.

She did not have access to compost, and she is of age to be laying so I’m very confused
