Hello!
I have 15 baby chicks, between 1 week to 2 weeks old that I purchased from a reputable hatchery. I've had them less than a week, and at least one of the chicks has extremely runny poo. I know this is a major symptom of Coccidiosis, and I don't know what to do.
My books all tell me to take a poo sample to the vet for testing, however I do not have a vet who handles chickens. I am continuing my search for a suitable vet, but until I can actually find someone - What do I do???????
I'd really like these girls to survive. They are fairly active and don't seem to be listless.
Thanks in advance!
