Milky white poop and she's lethargic

Great you found one that at least sent it out for you,

did thy call you with the results or did you have to wait for the results to come back via snail mail? we all know that time is critical when finding out what ails our birds , this would be a good thing to do annually just to check the health of the birds in general, may i asked what they charged you? you can PM me if you don't want to post it here i was just curious

I will be using this service as a preventative, I had a mixed sample tested after my fall worming with Safeguard and it came back neg. for worms, but positive for good old Cocci. I am well aware that we have a lot of Cocci here, so that was no surprise and nobody ever showed any sign of sickness so they apparently had already developed their resistance to it. They called with the results and I think it took about 3 days, and cost was $23. For emergencies the closest vet that will see a Pea is 1 1/2 hours away and very expensive. They will do fecals in house while you wait for $60.

That isn't bad at all IMO

I think the $23 is great, the $60 seemed kind of expensive to me, but in an emergency situation you kind of expect to get hit with a big bill.

Did I mention that she came out and helped me with the NPIP testing? My certification did not come back soon enough for me so I had her come out and we did the entire flock, 70+ peas, 45 chickens, and 24 guineas. It took a couple of trips, but we got er done. She even brought the shots and wormer for the GP pups. We had a good time, mostly, but it wasn't cheap. Next year DW and I will do it ourselves, I think the worst part was putting the bands on. The bleeder/sticker that is sold is mostly a pain in the arse to use, her preferred method is to use a hypo needle, and that went much faster with less pricking of the birds vein. Glad to have that done, now I will feel much more confident when shipping chicks across start lines.

IMO, I would be highly suspect she has blackhead. Metronidazole will take care of that problem
