    Coccidiosis in baby chicks? Help!

    I used gardstar garden and poultry dust. I lightly dusted them and put underneath their bedding. Problem is I haven't actually seen any bugs. I heard mites crawl around at night so will check tonight. They seem to be itching a little less but definitely still itching.

    Coccidiosis in baby chicks? Help!

    Update- I made all my adjustments and that original chick as far as I know has had only one episode and as usual when I clean the brooder, except it lasted much shorter and he hasn't had another for any other cleanings. What I did discover, however, is they have been excessively itching and...

    Coccidiosis in baby chicks? Help!

    Just got home to the chicks they're all doing okay. I switched the corid water out back to their normal vitamin and electrolytes, and they're in the sun for the first time for a little and will lower the temperature. Thankyou for everyone's input will update if anything goes astray!

    Okay. Every time I do they huddle on each other and act cold, so that's why I kept it at 90. Thank you! .

    They more just struggle the whole time kind of flipped out and confused why they can't use their legs. I also have been using vitamins in their water and medicated chick feed. I guess maybe it's just the lack of sunlight?

    Coccidiosis in baby chicks? Help!

    Okay I can do that. I just read that the red lamp keeps them calm and prevents pecking at each other. Thanks!

    They straighten out after the episode. They weren't born that way. Once the episode passes they're totally fine.

    Coccidiosis in baby chicks? Help!

    Thanks! I've been using duravex vitamins and electrolytes in their water (except today I replaced with corid). If I stop the corid today since it's looking like it's not coccidiosis would you suggest the nutri drench in addition to the duravex?

    Coccidiosis in baby chicks? Help!

    Yes I have a thermometer in there set and I watch if they are cold or hot. Yes heat lamp is only on one side. I just never had any windows open for daylight so I need to change that asap for just a few hours.

    Coccidiosis in baby chicks? Help!

    Okay thank you so much! So it looks like I should remove the corid, add sunlight, and bring back their water with vitamins and electrolytes and quit giving the garlic herbs and yogurt? My thinking was if coccidiosis I must treat asap before it gets so bad they have bloody poo and perhaps save a...
