Title: poorly chicks
Post by: garye on June 30, 2008, 01:31:51 pm
I have lost a couple of black minorcas recently which became ill and never recovered. They were about 9 weeks old and became lethargic and easy to catch. sleeping quite a lot thro the day and not eating or drinking much. They had a bubbly clear discharge from their beaks along with a cloudy matter in their eyes, sometimes unable to open them. Has anyone any ideas as to the cause and treatment? Thanks. P.S. i had treated them with something for coccidiosis which i thought they had but this did not seem to help.
