Hi F7rr3ll.

Welcome to the site.

Can't come up with any suggestions at the mo.

A few questions to start with.

How old is she ?
Has she been wormed recently ?
Is her crop empty ?
Is there a bad smell coming from her mouth at all ?
Can you describe her droppings (any photos) eg. colour, smell. ?
The more info you can provide the better.

Rob

Has she laid recently ?? And were they normal shells ?

And have you checked her and the house for mites of any sort ?

f7rr3ll · « **Reply #6 on:** July 17, 2008, 11:43 »

we have checked and no mites
can't say that she's ever laid
got 4 chickens and only ever had three a day

Hmmm. I've run out of ideas unfortunately.

If you have a quick look at this section LINK (forgot to add link :oops: ) and see which description best matches your poo. :shock:

You might like to read the rest of the info section (if you haven't already) and see if there's anything else there that may be relevant.

There's lots of people who can advise but they're awol at the mo.

Worms or coccidiosis is my guess.

If it continues or has any blood in it treat her for coccidians !

A number of our chook keepers use Coxoid.
