Title: Sick chicken
Post by: Spike on June 26, 2008, 11:42:34 am

Hi I have a sick pullet which I've separated from the flock, it is listless and isn't drinking or feeding, but it is doing frothy squits, and it seems to have a very gurgly stomach! Has any one any ideas? :chook:

Hi, it sounds like Coccidiosis. My flock had it a week or so ago. Try treating with coxoid.
Have a look on www.petfleas.
They are the cheapest i have found and the treatment works very quickly.
Good luck
