In the hens you have treated with metronidazole (x2weeks), how quick did they turned around?? Mine is still about the same.
I do think there is some type of enteritis going on....is metronidazole ok for treating that??

This hen is my Welsummer and now my langshan (the original hen having problems) has stopped eating. I am at my witts end with these sick chickens. I'm just going to treat my langshan again with baytril.....she stopped laying isn't really eating or drinking. Maybe her infection is back???

Ahhhhhhhhhh!!!

Ok, well atleast I know I'm on the right track. Thank you Kathy. Myrtle (Welsummer) and Beatrice (langshan) have very much benefited from your knowledge. Thank you .

Is this intestinal lining or blood??? I'm not sure. It's her 3rd or 4th poop that I have seen like this since last night. Other poop is formed and looks normal. So I'm not sure.

Sorry for the nasty poop picture.
