Hello all! I don't know if it is something to do with the weather this year or this batch of chicks we got but we have had a ROUGH 2024 with an intense battle of Coccidiosis in our flock of 6. So much so that we have gone to the vet and got a sulfa medication but it seems to just keep coming...

It’s 75 degrees, 62 percent humidity. My 10 week old girl has been panting constantly for 2 days and lays down any chance she gets. This is her droppings. Any ideas what to do?

I have now been dealing with coccidiosis for over 2 months. I just need a moment to rant, it’s taken all the fun out of owning chickens for me. We’ve done the severe dose in the water, orally by weight etc. had a few weeks of everyone seeming okay then one presenting new symptoms. Took that...

We had a bad outbreak in the brooder a few weeks ago. Treated the flock, everyone made it. I am starting to notice one his looking a little lethargic and I remember hearing about retreating again. Do you do the severe dose or something else? Thank you!

Going on 5 days my 8 week old pullet constantly is stopping and shutting her eyes. Eating and drinking normally. A few members of the flock a few weeks ago had cocsidiosis. No watering eyes and no respiratory sounds either. Does this poop look odd with the bubbles? Looking for suggestions in...

Depending on the mix, can waddles be forming on a hen around this age? I am not seeing any points to saddle feathers when I comb my hands through. The copper coloring is not getting any darker on the back, which I know is another indicator of rooster.

I know she has the americuna but I am so curious what she is mixed with! She is stunning! Any guesses?

I have an 8 week old pullet that any chance she gets she is closing her eyes. Still eating and drinking but definitely acting a lot different than her normal. Poop looks normal, checked for bugs. Any ideas? Should I start corid as a preventative?

A bantam with a cool hair style! Any guesses?

I am certain this is a hen. Her tail has always pointed down. Is that normal? She’s healthy, eats well, active. Just have never seen a tail like this before. Maybe a mix?

Is this a RIR? Hen or Roo? Too early? Thanks!

Is this male specific coloring on either of these 2?

Can’t decide the gender for the life of me!

I have done the severe treatment of Corid to my flock for 5 days. On day 6 (fresh water) one of them is acting off again. I am reading conflicting information. One thing said wait two weeks and then retreat. The other said, do a tiny dose for the next two weeks every day. I priced out a fecal...

One chick was showing symptoms, treated the whole flock with corid water for 5 days. NOW, on day 6 another one has blood in their droppings. Do I treat again? I’d hate to do that depleting them of vitamins for so long. Should I syringe dose just the one? Not sure what to do! Thank you

Can’t decide on this Easter egger. Either way it’s going to be a gorgeous bird!

Random pick from the bantam bin!
