My hen is pooping blood !!!

Thank you everyone. We just had a bird funeral. I will go get some Corid today it wouldn't hurt right?

No it won't hurt to treat the others even if it is not cocci. I would really recommend it.

While you're there, get some Safeguard wormer.

WARNING pic of bloody stool!!!
Hi everyone ! Thanks again for all the help last time. We thought we were over it but this morning I found this in the run.

Gross I know!! They have been off corid for 6 days now but I put them back on the corid as of this morning. Should I be doing anything else!?

Sometimes it takes a second course of treatment. If using the liquid Corid use 2 tssp per gallon of water, if powder use 1 tsp powder to 1 gallon water. Be sure and keep the litter clean and dry--the poo contains the infection, and keeps spreading it until they become immune. Letting them outside on clean grass to spread out will help. Also that really have to drink the water to get treated.

Thanks so much I have been doing everything except changing the litter. I will do it today. It's frustrating because they just started laying and I want to use their eggs! Haha

 

[Eggcessive]

It is safe to use the eggs if they are on Corid--it is a thiamine blocker, not an antibiotic, so there is no withdrawal time for eggs or meat.

Good to know thanks!
