Ok...I've been doing more research on Coccidiosis. Several sites give age ranges for chicks to be symptomatic ranging from 10 days to 2 weeks. My babies are 8 days (9 in a few hours). So, does that mean that it can't be coccidiosis? The sick one had a little blood in her poo a few moments...

Ok...we are pretty sure it is coccidiosis. A couple others have clear diarrhea (two was mucusy) and one has dried blood in the dried poop stuck on her bum. I'd call it pasty butt, but it wasn't over her vent...it was below it in her fuzz. I did a search online for coccidiosis and found a site...

Quote: I can take one this evening. She is beautiful (especially when she is perked up!). I hope it won't be too late when I get home tonight. Why are Salmon Faverolle's more fragile than other breeds? Is it just the shipping stress like RendonRoo suggested, weaker immune systems or just...

Quote: I gave her Poly-Vi-Sol this morning and she was eager for it, she aggressively bit the tip of it (gave her a couple drops on her beak). I gave her sugar water as well, which she will drink if I hold her (too fast if I don't watch her), but as soon as I set her down, she isn't too eager...

We have had them on ACV water, which I thought would help and her poop is not bloody. We don't have them on medicated feed. However, that doesn't mean that she doesn't have it. I have Sulmet...that treats coccidiosis, right? Do I need to reduce the concentration since they are so little or is...

We started with 51 chicks of which 8 were salmon faverolles. Two apparently had failure to thrive and were culled on day four. So... I need to add the disclaimer that we are no paranoid with the remaining 49! With that being said...here is the problem (?). One of the remaining salmon...
