Part 1
We have some Red Star chickens that are about 2.5 years old. And they are starting to get what my wife is calling water belly, ( its not the crop ) and she believes Coccidiosis. They have a white pasty butt. Its not all the Chickens but it seems like a new one every week or couple of weeks. we drained one and got the clear yellow liquid out ( like is described in the posts and youtube videos we seen). about a week and a half later she started getting big again. She died Friday. We are loosing chickens too fast if you ask me. We've tried to find out what is causing this and how to fix this problem. If anyone can help me figure this out I would really appreciate it. I think I'm going to add Apple Cider Vinegar to their water today. I guess that helps there gut Flora, but besides that I don't know. Thank you for your help..
part 2
Ok so we did a Necropsy on the chicken today and took some pictures. ( I am by no means a professional or skilled in anatomy in any way but I tried ) There's a couple things that we didn't know. What are these little white raised bumps all over the guts? And the green thing not sure what that is either. Thank you for your help..
