Thank you all for your replies and suggestions. Sassy declined rapidly to the point of not being able to stand or walk at all, and her head/neck was droopy and weak. She continued to eat the starter/grower feed that I made into a mash, but refused to drink. I gave her vitamins in water early on...

Sassy is 16 wks old, at the bottom of the pecking order, and has appeared healthy until now. She started stumbling about 4 days ago, and is progressively worse each day. Can't walk up the ramp to her coop anymore. Stumbles when walking, falls over sometimes, is weak on her left side - leg, wing...

Ok, thank you!

Update on sick pullets... It has been three weeks now since I last reported that my pullets were improving after Corid treatment for coccidiosis. Sadly, I lost one of them the very next day. However, she was not the one who was originally sick. Her death came as a total surprise. The other...

Thank you for the added instructions for after the Corid water treatment. I bought a pack of vitamins, and have buttermilk in the frig, so I think I'm all set. I'm still seeing some loose poops, but it is less today. I can't tell which one it is coming from. They must know I'm watching...

UPDATE: My sick pullet(Patches) is recovering well!! She started eating a LOT on Monday, and is drinking the Corid water on her own. She's running around with the other three and spends time preening herself in the sun. I'm so thankful for all the advice and instructions I received from my BYC...

Will do 👍! Thanks so much for your help and encouragement!!

I saw her drink once from the Corid water this morning, but not since. I'm wondering if I should use the Corid water to make up her sugar/soda water? Would there be a problem with that? Today I'm still supplementing her with water by syringe, about 10-15ml every 3 hours or so, to keep her...

Thank you. This morning, my sick one was lethargic and I discovered a bright pink fleshy poop 😧. But after her Corid dose and more sugar water, she perked up some. This afternoon, she was eating a little from the feeder, and drank on her own from the syringe. Still having watery poops, but she...

Hello all! I'm happy to report that, after 3 syringe feedings of sugar water today, my sick pullet is starting to perk up! She actually began to eat a little at the feeder with the other three! I'm so thankful to see a little improvement. I was sure she was going downhill, but now that she is...

Thank you, DobieLover! I will do this right away. So grateful for your advice!

Good morning. My sick pullet is about the same today. I gave her another dose of Corid this morning (first dose was yesterday afternoon), and she's still not interested in eating or drinking. Should I give her water with a syringe a few times today? I'm worried that she might get dehydrated, if...

Thank you, all! I have treated the sick one with Corid and given them all fresh, treated water. They have put themselves to bed now, so I hope things are better in the morning, or at least in a few days. I couldn't have dealt with this without you, thank you so much!!

Thank you so much. I worried that it might be a infection like this. I'll get on it right away!

Thank you for all the info, Boppo. I did check her vent and it is clean. She is pooping, but in small amounts. I tried a mix of her crumbles with water, but she's refusing that. Should I force-feed her some water? She took a small drink this morning, but none since.
