I was given 3 pullets a month ago. After separation time, they integrated it’s my older flock without any problems at all. Yay!
But about a week later, I noticed bloody ick in one of the pullets poo a couple days in a row. It’s been very wet here and chances are the pullets weren’t immune to the cocci in the soil here.
Got them through the normal Corid treatment, but still saw abnormal blood like traces in the poop.
I read about Endocox so ordered that and gave them the 3 day course to the entire flock.
What I failed to consider was any egg withdrawal from the Endocox!! Ugh!
Only 2 of my laying hens have been laying during this time because of molting, but I haven’t kept track of what eggs were laid during and after the Endocox.
I don’t know if I’ve eaten any of those eggs! Now I think I should throw out all the eggs I have, which isn’t much since only 2 of the 5 older hens are laying…but that just makes the eggs more precious.
I haven’t been able to find any real info on egg withdrawal for Endocox so now I’m concerned!
and to continue with the the poo problem, I’m still seeing what seems like an abnormal amount of what seems to be intentional shedding from the pullets, rather than bloody looking stuff, so I’m thinking worms may be the problem. All chickens are acting happy and active and eating/drinking, but whatever is happening isn’t normal. I will be using ivermectin drops on their necks.
