I have polish chickens that are about 6 months old, which were given to me about 8 weeks ago. Shortly after getting them, one was lethargic and not eating much. I put her in a crate with paper towels on the bottom, and saw when she pooped that there was red in it. Here's a timeline:
Sept. 15 - started entire flock on corid for 7 days. I didn't realize it depleted their nutrients
Sept. 28 - one was dead in the morning. Read up and started giving them Nutri-drench and oregano in their food.
Oct. 5 - one was lethargic; seperated her and started corid again for everyone. Did that for 7 days.
Oct. 8 - dug out and and replaced all of the sand in all of the run areas and coop.
Oct. 12 - started poultry cell, nutri-drench, oregano in everyones food (I put some of the poultry cell water and the other things in their food, so it's wet down and mixed up). Did that for about 10 days, then filled their water with regular water with a touch of ACV.
Oct. 26 - one of the chickens is very lethargic. Separated her; her first poop looks a little yellowish and foamy, with some dark green in it. Gave her some hydro hen, not sure what to do next.
I let the girls out in the yard once in a while, but not much since all of this started. I have 3 other chickens, that are separate from the polish hens (but they can see each other through a fence that separates their areas of the run). I would like to integrate them but not until these girls are for sure healthy.
