I have the same thing going on. They just don't seem to feel well. My guys are about 8 weeks old, but have been on the ground since birth. They are lethargic with watery poop, no blood. They are eating, but not like they have been. They are on medicated feed, but they are puffed up like I've seen others who had coccidia. I am thinking this may be respiratory. I heard a couple of sneezes so started septra 4 days ago. This morning they looked bad. Fluffed up, one was drooling, eyes shut. I made an emergency run to TSC (blew off work) and was planning on giving them something...not quite sure what. Bought Tylan, have fish mox, got some chlortotracycline medicated feed too. I thought they may be past hope. Got home and they are running around again. Right or wrong, I didn't use the tylan or fish mox, but am trying the chlortetracycline feed. I mixed it up with scrambled eggs and organic yogurt. They felt good enough to eat. Tonight, everybody got VetRX and I'm continuing the sulfa. This is a mystery. Usually respiratory problems have more symptoms like runny nose or wheezing. IDK. What am I missing? Vitamin deficiency due to medicated feed their entire lives?? I would appreciate any thoughts on this.
Hey all so this isn't related to hatching hope you all don't mind but I wanted to bring my question to some of the most helpful people I know.
I have a pullet that is acting odd/under the weather. She is coming on five months and I'm worried about her with the way she is acting today. Her name is Jasmine, and she is 50% black orp(25% English) her Mommy was a white mix that laid pink eggs daily. I think she has some leghorn in her but her comb seems to be a peacomb like Mom. She was given to me by another BYCER and was part of the group of 6 chicks I lost half to cocci at 7 weeks. They were treated and the other three survived.
She has her head tucked in, feathers ruffled, tail down, she also shakes her head periodically. Her crop is full but pliable she did eat a bit of fried egg I gave her. There is no rotten or off smell from her mouth. Mostly she's just lethargic and did not leave the coop today. Her vent is clean and appears normal. She doesn't seem to have any lice or mites, although I'm not sure what it would really look like, but no bugs dark dander or nits. And both of her sisters that are orps are fine. Her eyes are bright and there is no discharge from her nostrils.
Should I worry about an impacted crop? Could she have cocci again? Please help I'm a very worried Momma and I already feel like I failed with these wonderful chicks I was given. Any help at all would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
Yeah!! On the laying part but kinda yeah on the whole incimiation part lol but u gotta do what u gotta do , good luck

X2 on the pumpkin and they love it! I just busted a couple in half and let them have em. They love picking the seeds and when they were done there was nothing but a thin skin remaining, and that went to the compost pile in my garden.I use wazine, becuase it was recommended by the old timers, on the other hand I use pumpkin as a natural de wormer in the fall, so that's a plus.

No word yet on my missing box of chicken eggs - still MIA, but my quail eggs DID arrived today, on time and perfect.
I am planning on participating in this hatch! Not sure of my exact hatch planned yet, will post again when I decide. Almost certainly some Chocolate Orpington eggs, though.
Oh yea, can't have an aggressive bird. I delt with it from an OEGB but he was only about 8" tall. Wouldn't let a LF get away with that. I have kids here EVERY weekend. lol
