Okay: A question being thrown out there to all you pros. I have been hit with Cocci, yet again. I had done a fecal a few months back, they tested positive. I treated. Retested. All good. Now I have a bird who is down and she again tested positive for Cocci. I brought her in the house and was treating with Corid and treating loose birds. Talking with Vet and talking with feed store.....probably need to be proactive on treatments and treat once a month since I seem to keep getting it. My hen house is clean, the only poop is under their roost and when they wake up they go outside....and all of that is frozen. I will be putting sand in the run as was recommended to me. I cleaned out the hen house and sprayed it down with bleach (left door and windows open to let air out during a nice day). Larry at the feed store asked if I had pigeons...nope, but lots of tweety birds. He tells me they could be doing it, suggested I treat regularly until the weather changes and tweety birds can find food elsewhere. My birds' food is outside to make it easier for them to access and to try to keep off the mice, so this of course attracts the tweety birds. Would mice be a carrier? I have noted mouse sounds again. I will be putting up sticky traps today.
Well, the bird that was in the house I was eye dropping her some water/corid for treatment. Giving her some sauce (berry sauce that I picked up in individual packets for the kids)....trying to give her something as she did not seem to be eating. Well, she seemed to have a seizure. Can chickens have seizures? Did I over medicate? I took her back out to the coop, maybe it is depression. She is in one of the "not used" nesting boxes with some feed. I am hoping by seeing her sisters she will get better and perk up.
Help?
The bird is a 1 year old BR. She was up and healthy Saturday. She is still of good weight. She was being kept in a box in my bathroom. Could houshold fumes/toxins have effected her?
