Help with diagnosing what's wrong with my 9-week-old chick.

[Silkie7]

Hi, I'm new to chickens. I have six 9-week-old silkies. I just moved them outside three days ago, and one of my chick's crop hasn't felt full at night for two days now. I see her eating and drinking, but her crop doesn't feel full like the others. Today her dropping had a bit of a reddish spot in it. (Picture is included) I believe the green color is due to eating grass. Please help me figure out what's wrong with her. We unfortunately already lost two baby chicks. Our first one to neurological issues from hatching, and our most recent we don't know what was wrong.

That looks like shed lining, my gut feeling still says to treat your flock with corid.

Thank you for your reply. That's what I was thinking, but I wanted an expert's opinion. I bought Corid Solution what measurement would be appropriate for 6 chicks?

What's the volume of your watering container?

What's the volume of your watering container?

it’s 1 gallon

 

[SmiYa0126]

Give 10 ml or 2 tsp of the liquid Corid, or 1 1/2 tsp of the powder per gallon. For any that look especailly sick, you can offer 0.1 ml per pound of undiluted Corid twice a day for a couple of days.

Treat them all with the corid water at the above dose for 5-7 days, make sure the medicated water is the only water they have access to.
