    Cocci and new chicks

    Well obviously I don't want to risk any more of my chicks, hence the multitude of questions. I never said I wasn't going to re-treat them for cocci. I am aware of how simple and effective it is, I simply asked if I should start the second round 2 weeks from the first time they received Corid or...

    Oh wow, zeeanimallady, I don't know. That sounds horrible. I'm a newbie so I wouldn't know how to answer your question. You might want to start a new thread since this one is kind of old. People might not read through it all but I want your question to get answered! Good luck!

    Cocci and new chicks

    So would you say if I move them out to the shed with the others in a week or so and make a partition with hardware cloth I should be good? And keep a close eye on them obviously? As for treating them a second time, is it 2 weeks from the first round was started or 2 weeks from their last dose...

    Cocci and new chicks

    Hi all, I have a question about cocci and new chicks. We are getting through a bout of cocci that claimed 5 of my 26 Rainbow Rangers. It was horrible but fingers crossed we're out of the woods. The chicks have 3 more days on Corid but the ones that survived that I didnt think would make it are...

    That's great! I'm glad your girl is better. Geez Louise what a crazy last couple of days! Can I admit that tonight at 5:30 was the first shower I had since Wednesday morning?! Looking forward to life returning to normal. I feel like now I can go into the coop alone again, before I was too scared...

    Ampersat-did you get the crop problem fixed? All our chicks are good now. We moved all the healthy ones outside into the run and cleaned the coop. Put sand down instead of pine shavings. They stayed outside all afternoon and seemed to love it. The 4 we had corralled seem to be back to normal so...

    911 help please!

    I called the hatchery yesterday. They said it sounded like cocci and gave me the phone number to a Dr. Brown that does phone consultations. My chicks are looking much better today. One is still weak but looks much better than it did yesterday. We are going to move them outside and put sand in...

    Well, another dead chick today, but not one we had separated last night. This one was in the healthy side of the brooder! My husband checked on them around 5 and all was ok, when we checked on them again around 6:15 one was on its back stiff as a board. Sigh... Two of the four we had separated...

    911 help please!

    Thanks for the info. Can I do any supplements instead of medicated feed? Neither of the farm stores in my town sell it, both just sell non-medicated starter. They don't have any other vitamins and I have them under the heat lamp still. Just checked on them and 3 of the 4 made it over to their...

    I know, I'm a newbie too. My sister has chickens but she's never had a problem with hers, other than predators. I feel horrible for these poor birds. I hate seeing anything sick and not knowing what I can do for them. At least it seems like the Corid might be working. I will check out your thread.

    911 help please!

    Just got off the phone with them. The lady I talked to said it sounded like coccidiosis since they were vaccinated for Merek's. She gave me a phone number for a vet that does phone consultations. I might wait another day to see how they do before I call as it's $25 for a phone consultation. I'm...

    911 help please!

    No more deaths last night! Of the 4 we had separated 3 were standing up when we got into the coop. One was still not looking good but I got it to drink a little bit. We are trying to stay away as much as possible because they really get riled up when we go in. The 3 that were standing were...

    911 help please!

    We just lost another chick. We were out checking on them and this bird was on its back and legs were stiff. Husband picked it up and tried to get it to drink some medicated water. It didn't drink anything, laid there for a bit then stiffened up. Its head was bent back and legs completely stiff...

    911 help please!

    I'm heading to Big R right now to get some medicine. I hope this works. One other thing, when I found them dead their legs were sticking straight out behind them. I'm not sure if this is just what happens or if it's a symptom of whatever they have. Thanks to everyone for your help.

    911 help please!

    They are eating unmedicated chick starter. I was just out in the coop and one that seemed ok just sort of flipped out, flapping the wings and running around clucking. Then it pooped and it was kind of stringy and mucousy looking. One of the bad ones had its eye open and it looked sort of like...

    911 help please!

    Unfortunately the hatchery is closed until morning. Gah, I wish I knew what to do! I have 6 layer and 18 other Rainbow Rangers to worry about, I don't want my whole flock to be decimated! The Marek's vaccination was on the invoice so they should have been vaccinated. Ugh, I have this!

    911 help please!

    I'm hoping someone can help me quick. I have 26 Rainbow Rangers from Meyer Hatchery. They are 3 weeks old today. They have all seemed healthy until last night. I noticed last night one of them was walking funny. It would take a couple of steps then sort of fall or lay down. This morning it was...

    A few newbie questions...

    Thanks for the info! Some have had some poop build up on their keisters that I've had to soak off but nothing blocking the vent and they all seem to be doing well. I can't believe how quickly the meat birds at feathering already. They really are fascinating creatures! I like to watch them...
