Good morning great nairalander,, please I need you advice. My chicken are dieing overnight, and the only symptom the previous day is that they can't start up, but they can still do other things, and when they are dead the body will turn green.
House please I you experience to avoid the impending danger. The youngest is 3 months' old with a very good weight.

Your birds might be suffering from coccidiosis. Observe the faeces whether you would find blood. Endeavour to change your litter if it is wet/dirty. Buy coccidiostat from a reliable vet store.

Please look out for other symptoms and post here for us.... If possible, you can some pictures.

What is the colour of their poop. What position do you find them when they die? Upside down, sideways or just like they are sleeping?

My vet doctor was here somdays ago. He also advise on what to do but to no avail

Sorry for your troubles.

But, The info is.not enough!

Please give more info, what type of birds; broiler, Cockrell, layers etc.
How many birds?

You mentioned the " youngest is 3 months old,... meaning you have different sets put together?

What system are you operating, deep-litter, battery cage?

@ Macfako, just ran into your post, i feel for you, after spending so much to raise them for good 3 months. My advice might be late but I feel it will help in case of next time.

From the conversation thread, I suspect Newcastle disease or some multiple infection that our birds are exposed to due to a break in our bio-security.

Next time you keep broilers for that long, ensure you ister Lasota vaccine fortnightly, if after doing this there is an issue you cannot identify, combine a good multivitamin + anticoc + antibiotics ( for anticoc, I normally use dt containing vit k3 and for antibiotics I use those containing amoxitin)

Please ensure you also watch withdrawal period on the drugs to ensure safety for human consumption.

All the best.

Thanks alot. You are completely right. I have ister all what you said which was given by my vet doctor. And the mortality rate has reduce. But because we did not observe on time, we still have some that are going down to at lower rate.
