Thanks for the reply. I mixed up a fresh gallon of Corid and cleaned their brooder today. They're all eating and drinking. Can grown hens/roosters get cocci? And can ducks/ducklings?
Alright, I need help once more :/ the chicks that were in the same room have bloody stool. I don't know their weights to give them the exact drops, but they're small. What should I do?
*I just gave them a fresh treatment of Corid by water and they all drank nonstop. They now have food and are...
Oh, that makes sense. She wasn't with any other birds since her wing was broken, but there were other birds in the same area/room (not same cage). (They weren't in the coop bc the older chickens were hurting and picking on them.) I didn't give them a full treatment of Corid, just a little, but...
I have a silkie chick that had broken his/her wing about a week ago. The chick is acting completely fine now, but a day or 2 ago I noticed his/her poop was red. It was a light shade of red so I thought it was just the intestinal lining being shed. Today the chick's poop has darker red in it, but...
Hii. I got 6 silkies from Tractor Supply Co last weekend and quickly picked up a bag of what I thought was regular chick feed. Today I noticed that it's Chick Starter for turkeys, quail, chukar, and pheasant.. I know the protein is higher than it's supposed to be for chicks in this feed...
Sometimes food gets stuck in the ducklings' throats when they eat and to help it go down they'll do that with their beaks. If its only after eating, I'd assume that that's what your duckling is doing. You could try massaging the crop after they eat to help also.
If you haven't examined his foot/leg yet, I would do so. Check to see if there's any object, such as a splinter or something, in the pad of the foot. The chicken may have been bitten or stung by an animal/insect. Are the legs hot to the touch?
How old are they? If they're over a week, you could lower the brooder temperature. The chick could have over heated. Is there anything it could have eaten that was poison when they were outside? There is a numerous amount of possibilities, but it simply could be a weak chick. Not all chicks are...
What are some other symptoms that your duckling is experiencing? It could be something respiratory (the opening and closing of the bill made me think resp.). Any wheezing sounds or anything of the sort? The brooder sounds fine. Check the duckling's crop to see if it feels impacted. The niacin is...
