Um....green poop.....brown poop.......smells terrible.Is stress the cause? HELP!!!!!!!

[mymilliefleur]

That's to bad mymilliefleur but I do understand that because mine weighed only about 3-4 lbs and are like you said weigh quite a bit like 8-9 lbs for hens

they never went broody laid ok I guess and weren't really worth eating.

Kathy: I wormed them last month and it did absolutely nothing as far as I could see hopefully it did do some internal damage to the worms but I don't think they need to be wormed again.I have been giving my whole flock ACV & vitamins/electrolytes since her death though everyone is totally content and healthy but thank you for the idea

I do appreciate any ideas though but I think she just was an easy kill for any diseases that threatened the flock.

It's possible. Some birds are just ... weaker.

What did your worm with and how much did you give?

You wormed and bathed and oiled them and then they got sick or were they sick before?

 

[casportpony]

I can think of no good reason to give oil and would not recommend that anyone do it.

Unless they are wormed with something like Valbazen at 0.08ml per pound once orally and again in ten days, or Safeguard at 0.23ml per pound orally for *5* days, one cannot say that there birds have been properly de-wormed. What I mean by that is that worming with Wazine, Ivermectin, or Safeguard for one day are not effective ways to worm.

Sorry couldn't multi quote sigh.

Mymilliefleur: Yes I absolutely agree and genetics can influence weaker birds.

Casportpony: I wormed by what you said to worm by you helped me work out the doses on your peafowl poop thread for my flock.

Mylani/Casportpony: They had poop on their back ends and I thought it was cases of vent gleet so I bathed them in Epsom salt and fed them olive oil to correct the problem but it didn't have good or bad affects.So I weighed them all then gave them Goat liquid Safeguard dosages by weight for 5 days (Kathy helped me work out the doses per weight) and then nothing occurred no worse effects or good effects just still poop butt(this all happened in March of this year).They still had poop butt until I moved them into their new coop which was last week they at first got extremely bad poop butt so I got really worried but after few days of letting them settle in the poop butt has gone away completely except on my new rooster but he was completely healthy when I got him.I believe the cause for all of the poop butt was stress.Why they were stressed I'm not sure but I'm just glad they are healthy now and I'm just going to leave them be unless anyone else dies from the same few symptoms.

 

[casportpony]

Sorry, I forgot that I helped you figure out doses, my bad.

Just part of getting old, lol.
