Hi there!
So I’ve had a flock of hens for about 9 months now. My girls are about 1 year old. I’ve noticed for the last month or so that my blue Andalusian has been having extremely runny poops. Like they actually squirt out of her bum often. They eat layer pellets, oyster shells and grit. I give them collectively one handful of mealworms everyday. I treated them all with 2 doses of ivermectin, probiotics and electrolytes. The other day I saw one bloody poop in the coop a few days after the second treatment but haven’t seen any since. My friend said it could be from worm die off? The diarrhea did seem to be getting better but it’s back and bad! I’m wondering if I should treat for cocci? My chickens all look very alert and healthy. Not quite sure if I should keep trying to treat this diarrhea or just wait for more symptoms to show up?
Thanks everyone!
