To be honest not sure, perhaps aunty will advice us. Given the choice the coxoid would take priority as it is more fatal for the chooks.

Sorry to hear you've lost some of your girls, they become so much a part of the family, don't they? I also started with ex-bats last year, lost the first one after 6 months and now only have 2 of the original 6 left, along with a couple of others from earlier this year, one of which has been confirmed as a cockerel!

I'll be keeping an eye on this thread as a couple of mine also have watery droppings, including some odd looking greenish stuff (aged copper green, if that makes sense). I'm worming mine at the moment, a couple of months later than intended due to unforeseen circumstances, so I hope it's just down to the delay.

I would get the advice of a vet.  Some antibiotics may be what is needed.

[Holly Carney]

Well the treatment has commenced so I will keep you posted on how the remaining 2 get on!
Lola seems fine with no signs of any problems but Gertie is not really eating - continues to drink a lot though which is good as the coxoid is in the water! her comb has gone a bit purple tipped today though and the poo's she has done hare watery and look undigested!
Fingers crossed she makes it!

One day on and Gertie is looking a little more lively, has been eating this morning and has spent hours scratching around rather than standing looking miserable!!
Hopefully this will continue and I will see my ladies back to normal xx

[Aidy]

Fantastic news, here's hoping for the full recovery. I checked earlier to see if you had updated.
Fingers crossed.

[bantam novice]

Great news, Holly, long may it continue 

[Holly Carney]

Well this morning Gertie's comb is more purple which doesn't look good! not sure which way she is going to go!! but she is still eating and drinking.

[feelingbroody]

can anyone advise as to how often to worm with flubenvet pls girls have access to the garden if that is important to note.

many thanks

broody

[orchardlady]

For the first dose.

7 days of layers pellets with flubenvet mixed in. This should be their exclusive diet.

Then repeat 3 weeks later.

Then every six months.

Hope that helps.

[feelingbroody]

thanks for that oL 

[Holly Carney]

Well she is still here and we have been coaxing her to eat which seems to be helping! her poo is less watery but no signs of worms in being passed so don't think its that!

[feelingbroody]

So pleased for you Holly 

[Holly Carney]

And Gertie seem to be improving - eating well this morning and looking more lively! yay
