Really hope that fixes the problem!!!I found my two male guineas cornering and attacking my brahma hen and they plucked some of her head feathers out but she is alive. I got rid of the guineas
It's like 90 outside and 85 inside unless I close the windows which makes it like 95-100. They were closed when the 16 chickens died but ever since then they are open 24 hours.She looks very ill. Blood only is seen in some cases of coccidiosis. Dosage of Corid is the same for all chickens. Put 2 tsp of the liquid or 1.5 tsp in each gallon of water for 5-7 days. In addition for a chicken this sick, I would give some undiluted Corid orally 1/4 tsp per pound of weight daily. Make aure to encourage her to drink the water. How hot is it in the coop?
Oh and she's outside all day long in an outdoor penIt depends on which strain of coccidia of the nine strains that target chickens if blood shows up in poop.
How hot is it where you live? If this four-week old is housed in a hot coop with poor ventilation, that may be what's causing its troubles.
Should I isolate her or is there no point since if it's coccidiosis the whole flock has itI would get her started on the Corid, and drinking fluids. Let us know how she gets along.
