!URGENT! Is This Poisoning in My Chickens?

[Auntiejessi3]

I don't think so either, do you think it could be associated with her seizures?

After she was dead I had straightened her neck and there was popping and cracking, as if maybe she dislocated it or broke it when seizing.

It's very possible

Probably not. I also wanted to add that vitamins should not be given at the same time as corid, the B vitamins cancel out the corid. I was looking at some other threads and one of the educators referenced the polyvisol and said 2-3 drops per day.

I should've thought of that, thank you.

It seems as if as soon as she got the corid cocktail she started trying to stand instead of laying

This is just my opinion, but I would lean more towards a vitamin deficiency than coccidiosis.

Okay, I will treat her as if it is a vitamin deficiency.

I looked up and googled what might cause white buildup on the heart. Google mentions a visceral gout, which is a renal system failure that causes build up on the internal organs. It states it's chalky though - but I'm not sure how chalky it means. It also mentions lethargy and emaciation in afflicted birds.

I don't know how to explain the consistency of it exactly. It was kinda like cutting into tofu or something like that lol

So sorry for your loss! Sounds like she had a heart issue , maybe?!

If your polish passes keep her body cold (in the fridge) and call A&M to have a necropsy done. I hope it won't come to that! @Eggcessive @Wyorp Rock @dawg53 let's call some the experts

Do you by any chance have machinery sitting idle and leaking fluids onto the soil where these chickens are used to hanging out? The symptoms sound a lot like petroleum distillate poisoning. It also could be insecticide poisoning. Even if you treated some plants weeks ago, rain and watering can reactivate the poison if a chicken drinks from a puddle from the run-off.

No mechanical things of any sort around them. They live in an acre with 8ft fencing. And the polish stays in a breeding pen, so even less of a chance of being exposed.

And I don't use any chemicals on any plants, I prefer avoiding that risk.
