Hello,

 

I need to know a few things.

 

1)i hatched some chickens,they are now 2 months 22 days old approx....I haven't vaccinated them at all...

I've been given them Coccidious medicine and Flubenvet medicine,have been given the coccidious medicine for a few days,and the flubenvet for at least a week.....I do not see any signs of improvement....

 

they eat :organic Growers pellets,organic mixed corn,some vegetables and fruit,and whatever they find in the garden....they have drooped wings,and do yellow poo.....

they look fully feathered

The breeds

 

6 x Light sussex ,weight 1kg-1,8kg

3 x black cochin ,weight around 1.2kg

2 x buff orpington,weight 1kg-1.4kg

1 x welsummer weight .less than 1kg

1 x aruacuna weight .less than 1kg

 

 

Please let me know what i should do,

what diseases they have.

Perhaps you should cut back on the fruit and veg?

 

Are their wings drooped or are they just holding them away from their bodies in an effort to keep cool?

Do they have any other symptoms??

 

Make sure that in this heat they have plenty of cool water available and plenty of shaded areas. I don't have any experience of chicks sorry, Im sure someone else will be along shortly

Chickens can not have coxoid and flubenvet at the same time its one or the other i would get them off the wormer and leave them on the coxoid what are their symptoms? leanne

This time of year is also a bit of a nightmare for respiratory problems if your coop is not ventilated enough. Are any of your flock sneezing or do they have a throaty rattle when breathing?
