Are there natural treatments? We are working hard to maintain a chemical free existance, which is proving to be extremely difficult.
There are no natural treatments. ACV and herbs might work as a sort-of preventative by keeping the gut biome healthy but it isn't a treatment or cure. The only way to treat coccidiosis is with medication like corid.
She was off her food for a day, but did continue to peck at the grass, and plants. They get their feed, scratch grains, fresh fruit and veggie snack, grublies, and herbs daily. They have free access to the yard and eat grass/ clover etc. They hunt lizards, frogs and bugs all day. They have shade, several waterers one with electrolytes for 2 days and now I switched to apple cider vinegar/ garlic....
Ok. I will look into it. I appreciate your help and suggestions. I hope it is nothing serious. They have been really healthy up to this point, but the heat and humidity have been ridiculous this summer.
The other 3 have normal poo, and seem fine.
It's been just terrible! Just keep an eye on her for now, watch for signs of heat stress or other illness like pale or blue/purple comb, lethargy, diarrhea... If she doesn't want to eat at any point, I've found that chickens go crazy for scrambled eggs, so you can try that. Frozen fruits and veggies are great on hot days. And if you have room in your freezer, you can freeze a huge block of ice to put in a waterer to keep it cool for hours, just in case it is heat stress.
