Jazz23 Posted October 31 Share Posted October 31 Hi everyone, My hens are rescue girls from the British hen welfare trust who I’ve had for about 6 months now. For about the last month, they’ve been alternating between completely normal poo and runny, milky, bubbly diarrhea, with some undigested food in it. As a result I’ve wormed them way more frequently than necessary, (only two weeks after they were wormed I saw capillary worms in one poo so wormed them again), and they’ve just finished the most recent worming. For the first day of most recent worming almost all the poos were completely normal, but since then (for the last week or so) it seems to have gotten even worse than before. All the hens are still eating and foraging normally- I have seen one or two of them look a little bit sleepy in the middle of the day, and also do some neck shivers, (I don’t know what this means)!but other than that they all seem healthy. Over 50% of the poos are now milky liquid white diarrhea, or very runny brown diarrhea, and every day for the last week or two those that aren’t liquid have had flecks of blood instead, or pieces of bloody mucus lining in them, (usually a bit darker red than the pink-ish blood in the photo, but about the same amount) so I bought some coccidiosis medicine but haven’t used it yet as not sure if its the right thing to do? The blood seems to have stopped for the most part now, but diarrhea hasn’t. For context we lost one of them about a month ago to a respiratory disease (MG I believe), so they were all treated with antibiotics then and since then have been fed a lot of healthy things like supplements, garlic, probiotics etc. One of them developed minor symptoms of MG, but they went away again. Please see photos and any advice on what the problem/solution is would be greatly appreciated! Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
