Molasses flushing?....Sick chicks becoming worse! :( Need help ASAP!

Date sort Score sort
UPDATE: I ended up mixing 1 tsp of CORID with 2 quarts of water...So basically I cut the original measurements that you gave me in half. (instead of 2 tsp. I used 1 and instead of one gallon I used 2 quarts).

I had to go to my dad's house for the weekend so for now my stepfather is taking care of them for me. Hopefully the chicks are doing better! About how long will it take before they start acting normal and healthy again if they did indeed have cocci?
 
With mine I noticed a change in about 36 hours. First night in the house to see what was going on. Started Corid the next morning. One more night in the house and then back in with the flock. I always treat everyone when I get a sick one just because they share the water ( when they aren't drinking the goat's water).

I am glad you got the meds, and that my memory was wrong, happens a lot as I get older. If you don't need the meds now you will at one point if you keep chickens. I can almost guarantee that.

Good luck.
 
Thanks everyone.

I think the chicks are getting better, but my stepfathers caring for them so I can't see for myself how much they've gotten better. But I think the weakest one is doing much better because I called and reminded my stepfather to make sure the youngest one was in the coop with the rest before dark, since she was too weak to even climb the ramp so she was often left outside and hid under the coop unless someone put her in, but he said she was already in the coop under momma hen so she made it up the ramp herself. Which means she must be getting better!

I've had 3 chicks die & i have another who was doing great this morning, but she's doing so well now. As I was holding her & feeding the other birds I happened to look at my oyster shells which I had fed to all the birds rhis past week, had sunflower seed hulls, thanks to the mice i keep trying to catch (it was kept in a bucket in our coop without a lid) & I had fed them moldy corn the first time not knowing that it was & the second time boyfriend saw it & removed the part that was moldy. What should I try? Should I try a molasses flush, or put some antibiotic I don't have tetracycling I have the other one I, also have been treating for Coccidiosis.

It's probably best to start a new thread in the emergency section. It's the same section as this thread but old threads tend not to be viewed much when resurrected.
