Updates! Sleepy chicken

[Jose11632]

I would just put the electrolytes right in her water. She seems to be doing well.

He also has been dewormed and given corid like the others.

You definitely have something going through your flock. Have you been able to verify that they have worms?

I put a post up in another thread you started suggesting that a good cleaning of all areas that the chickens occupy might be a good thing to consider.
Chickens are not the cleanest of animals, and when you put them in tight spaces, cleanliness becomes even more important since the dirt and grime multiplies exponentially right alongside things that make them ill.

I suspect, though I can't say for sure, that some of this might be coming from one or more of contaminated feed, contaminated water, or some other contamination that they're picking up in their coop/run areas.

Store their feed only in sealed containers (5 gallon buckets with lids work well for this), and make sure they have fresh water DAILY. Keep the feed stored in a cool, dry place like a garage, and empty waterers every few days, rinse the container, and refill. If there is ANY question about the condition of the chickens' water supply at ANY time, dump the old water, clean the waterer, and refill so they have clean drinking water. If there are ANY sources of contaminated water other than the waterer in and around their coop/run that they can reach (stagnant, dirty, or possibly infected with chemicals like fertilizer or automotive liquids), remove those sources from the chickens' reach or move the chickens.

Clean runs and coops help chickens do better health-wise. We rake out our 15' x 80' run about every three weeks, do a soft clean of the coop by removing shavings in the nest boxes and shavings under the roost bars EVERY WEEK, and doing a heavy cleaning of the coop every six months.

Treating the chickens when they get sick is good if you can identify the cause of the sickness, but preventing their sickness through good coop management will be less stressful for both the chickens and the chicken keeper. It will also make your flock healthier moving forward and beyond.

Thing is we dewormed everyone for 6 days the .25 ml per pound and the poop only from the big girls has corn on it I can see yellow little hard things. And the roosters poop is liquify not yellow tho

Is throwing water at their coops is good I have seen that sometimes mites start popping out that’s why I have been trying my best to not get their house wet. Their floor is packing sand since we saw play sand isn’t good. Would the smell of Clorox not affect them.

I have tried disinfecting with vinegar spraying it in the coop while the others are free ranging, and scraping out poop, cleaning the coop with Gordon permethrin spray and changing their bedding

We clean the water every day. Sometime the left over feed I throw away in case it gets bad

 

[Jose11632]

At the moment these few days it has been raining so I don’t have a good chance at cleaning.

 

[Swbertrand1]

Good

 

[Jose11632]

Good

Also I see a difference between a hen with worms and with none since I had one hen that was close to dying but we saved her and her head was down and sleeping and closed one eye while I
carried her.
