0pensaysme Posted June 25, 2010 Report Posted June 25, 2010 I've treated my hen for coccidiosis using harkers Coxoide. The body weight is fine, she eats fine, drinks a lot of water. She is feeding a youngster in the nest, the youngster is fine and is putting on weight. I've locked the pair (hen & cock) in a large pen at the start of the breeding season, so they are already spearated from all others. What can I do next?
just ask me Posted June 25, 2010 Report Posted June 25, 2010 its anyones guess to be honest my advice would be to get a test done mate
0pensaysme Posted June 25, 2010 Author Report Posted June 25, 2010 Any sugestions which tests i should ask for?

OLDYELLOW Posted June 25, 2010 Report Posted June 25, 2010 Increased water intake usualy indicates canker , but locking birds up in there box could be causing the birds stress
just ask me Posted June 25, 2010 Report Posted June 25, 2010 increased water intake is one of the first signs of the parvo as well where could he send dropings to get them tested

0pensaysme Posted July 1, 2010 Author Report Posted July 1, 2010 Update, treated with canker medication and it seems to have done the trick.
Guest strapper Posted July 1, 2010 Report Posted July 1, 2010 Update, treated with canker medication and it seems to have done the trick. i dont think the greenish watery droppings symptoms,were likely to be canker.the watery droppings most probably were of a digestive disorder.nutrients passing through the body without being absorbed by the body.excessive thirst can indicate worms of some sort but saying that... it can indicate several other problems...worms being the easiest problem compared to the others. if a problem occurs its always best to have the droppings tested asap...know for sure!
