Sick Chicken Cries when it poops!

[Larkspur88]

Do you know about how much of each product is recommended for the chicken(s) and if I should treat all of them for it or what? Are there other brands out there, etc?

I work for a vet so if I can I'll see if my employer stocks any of these on our shelves under a different name and try to get them at a reduced cost to give to my birds. We just always do a little scratching our heads for a while because we treat cats and dogs at our clinic only so we're always pulling out the old dusty books to check under birds and rodents and such when I bring in my odds and ends pets.

Sulmet Dosage: 1 tsp. per gal. maintenance, 2 tsp. per gal. severe dosage, and 1/2 tsp. for prevention. The dosage tapers over the course of 6 (I think) days.

Hope this helps. Good luck.

I would treat her for cocci. A quick course of Corid or Sulmet should do wonders if she has a cocci overload.

Here's a link to the poop page so you can see what a wide range "normal" poops cover:

Good luck.

I have giver her coconut oil, olive oil and have given her baths with epson salt and it seem to work for 1 or 2 poops and then it hurts again…please give me some advice. This is my first time having chickens!!!
