4 Plymouth/Barred Rocks 6 years ago
Louise starts separating herself from the others, closing her eyes when standing in a corner, ruffled and dirty looking, liquid yellow poop with some white. I found you guys. Got the Corid, first didn’t convert the ml to teaspoons correctly dosed for 7 days only 1 teaspoon per gallon of drinking water. I separated her but dosed them all as more yellow butts were starting. Everyone seemed better but not for long.
All of the ladies feathers and liquid butts, struggling to breath, head shaking and sneezing stopped within just a few days. That was maybe a month ago.
Today Louise occasionally in a corner standing with eyes closed, doing the head shake thing here and there. Liquid yellow butt of course. One of the Rocks just shot liquid yellow at me too. Louise is a RI.
Thelma died from sour crop I suspect from yeast from all of the Corid treatments.
Have 6 four month old Americanas not yet migrated with my old girls and I am so stressed over this sickness.
Can you please post some photos of the poop and the hens?Symptoms of coccidiosis back again after 2 drinking water Corid rounds.
The first seven days dose was wrong. I only gave 1 tsp per gallon. They seemed to recover But symptoms returned within a few weeks.
gave seven days of the correct dose 2 teaspoons per gallon. Their feathers seemed to be shiny and less ruffled just a few days after second treatment, Liquid yellow poop stopped as well and no trouble breathing or head shaking
this is why I really do believe it is coccidiosis because corid seem to work but only for a short time.
Symptoms now back again. Less than a month.
mostly one bird is affected but at least one other has liquid yellow diarrhea with white.

How long ago did you move to new property?
All the birds that are sick are over 2 years old?
Struggling to breath, head shaking, sneezing...did they have mucous in the nostrils or bubbles in the eyes?
I agree, it would be a good idea to have a fecal float to check for Coccidiosis and worms.
Of course you can treat with the Corid, it won't hurt them, it's not an antibiotic.
Liquid Corid dose is 2 tsp per gallon of water and Powdered Corid is 1 1/2 tsp per gallon of water. Give as the only source of drinking water for 5-7 days.
I would check everyone's crop when they go to roost, then re-check first thing in the morning before they eat/drink to make sure the crops are emptying.
Have you had any changes in feed?
You do have new birds as well, where are you housing them and where did they come from?
