DE is worthless when it gets wet...which happens as soon as it enters their mouth.
Please please search for DE here on this website and read the hundreds of stories from real life chicken owners from all over the world.

Since they are showing symptoms of Cocci I would go ahead and treat with the 2 teaspoons per gallon of water, and make a new batch of this Corid /water mixture daily and continue it for 5 to 7 days straight.
Corid is a "medicine" like antibiotics...so it will not hurt them one bit AND it is...
