    Lethargic, diarrhea and losing weight in chicks and 5 month old pullets

    Thanks, and I am a registered technician so I am used to reading fecals we just don't do a lot with birds. I had a dr check after me and neither one of us saw anything other than the bacteria. I could not find the corid so I used what I had available to me from work. Since then I have found...

    So should I be feeding them the chick feed that has amprolium in it? The only contraindications listed was for antacids.

    Lethargic thin and diarrhea, 10wk chicks and 6 month pullets

    I have considered that but have no idea where to get it I tried a couple feed stores. I had a fecal sample checked but had no coccidia. I work for a vet but they don't do anything with chickens. The only antibiotic we have to treat coccidia is Albon which someone told me could be a little harsh...

    Lethargic thin and diarrhea, 10wk chicks and 6 month pullets

    I gave the electrolytes and vitamins in their water also added some probiotics. They don't seem any better but at least they aren't worse. I'm just glad thy are still eating and drinking. They still prefer the dry crumbles but I took the food out of their pen this evening and am going to try to...

    Someone told me to give them buttermilk. They already have diarrhea and I'm sure that wouldn't help. I'm not sure what that is supposed to accomplish.

    Ok thanks. I don't think they are crop bound or anything when I got up this morning their crops were a lot smaller. The poor things are just so weak. They are still willin to eat and drink. Should I try putting electrolytes or probiotics or something in their water?

    They do get grit and the food is a grower food for chicks 6 weeks to maturity. I did switch them back to medicated chick crumbles but I'm afraid they are going to get weaker. Is there anything I can do for them?

    But could the pellets make them crop bound or anything. Thy do have very liquid poop also and their crops are very full but not hard. They are still willing to eat some.

    They have chick grit and sand in their outdoor pen. I change water at least once or twice a day. The feed said for chicks 6 weeks and older.

    I have 3 chicks that are 7 to 9 weeks old. They started acting like they don't have much energy today. They are still eating but I don't thnk as much.

    Wag eggs now or later?

    I am new to this and my chickens just started laying eggs. Due to the rain some of the eggs do have some small dirty places on them. Also some of them seem to have small smears of blood. I have asked a bunch of people that have chickens and most of them do not was eggs at all. Some of them don't...
