    August Hatch Anyone?

    We have 4 australorp/red sexlink mix due to hatch on August 7. We noticed 2 internal pips thus far. :) One external pip overnight! Yay!!! All four babies were out when we woke up this morning.

    Switching to duramycin was a huge mistake!!! Switched last night. And the chick I so much worse off today than ever. She has been maintaining up until this point (no better no worse). So I can only guess this is the culprit. She can barely walk now. She will drink and eat if I give it to her but...

    Yes that us what I was thinking. I just looked up the diseases mentioned. thank you. There is just so much information and everyone has what works for them. It can be somewhat overwhelming at times. Thanks again. :)

    I have looked up both diseases you mentioned. Chlamydiosis if this is which you are referring is a reportable disease. It is world wide but rare in chickens? Also it doesn't seem to fit the symptoms. Mycoplasma galliaepticum-chronic respiratory disease - this is a reportable disease in many...

    Thank you. Would like to finish one med before starting another. This is next. I would think that is the best way to proceed? Thank you for all the information. :)

    Thank you! This is the first mention of Mycoplasma. I started Corid immediately after it was suggested that it was possibly cocci. I have done what was suggested!

    Thank you. I am not sure, all species of animals can have birth defects so why not a chicken? It was just a though as it hatched this way. I am giving Corid at the moment. Should I wait until the 5 days are up to proceed with another medication? I really don't like all this medication. Are...

    I have been giving ACV since hatch. It's just this one little guy that is weak. Do you know if I can keep putting the ACV in with the Corid? I really didn't want to give Corid and don't think it is doing anything as the condition of the chick remains the same. Thank you. I am just at a loss as...

    Thank you. I am leaning toward a birth defect that has gotten worse. I am going to continue the Corid treatment for the 5 days recommended. Not sure what options I have after that. Fingers crossed it gets better. I just feel like I am making it suffer. :(

    Actually some birds do pick up a respiratory infection with Coccidiosis. You would then treat the respiratory infection with something like Tylan. But the Cocci,is still treated with Corid(amprolium).[/quot It has been breathing heavy since hatch. It hatched on 7-11 so just over a week ago. It...

    Heavy breathing, droopy wings....:( week old

    Thank you. I have done that. I just wish I knew what was wrong. The pasty but isn't bad. Just every once in awhile it get stuck. It's little feet are always cold. I lowered the heater for it and have a lamp up higher for the other two so they don't get chilled with space enough to cool down if...

Rubbermaid container, pine bedding with paper towels under. Echo glow 20 heater. They are in the house with the...

    Thank you I am giving Corid at the moment. However, I don't think there is much change either way. This is day 2 on Corid, so we will see. Thank you! :) this particular chick has breathed heavier than the others since hatch. I am beginning to think a possible birth defect? Maybe under...

    Puffed up feathers, heavy breathing, staying in same spot...

    That's great! :) it has been extremely hot/humid here (VA) also. Heck i am panting and holding my wings out. lol...However they are in the house which is a cool 72° and the brooder is nice and toasty warm for them. So I don't think that is our issue. Hoping the chick snaps out of it. Hoping for...

    Th This sound exactly like one of our week old chicks. Started Corid today.(they have not been vaccinated) Did you ever figure out what the issue was? How are they doing now?

    Thank you. I gave them them the save a chick probiotics/electrolytes last night, as that is all I had on hand. I was able to run out of work and grab some Corid which they now have. However I am not sure this is the cause of this particular chicks problem. It has breathed heavy since hatch but...
