1 Sick Chick, 1 Crooked Foot & 1 Wing Issue

[Kiki]

The weak one.
Could it not be eating well?
How does that ones poop look?

Thank you, I will check on her when I go home for lunch in a few hours and post an update on both the food date and what her poop is looking like, as well as photos.

We thought it was her legs originally because she wasn’t getting up, but it doesn’t look like anything is wrong with them, so I think she is just sick. She is eating, but her condition did not improve at all overnight.

I appreciate your thoughts on the other chicks wing, gives me hope!

Coccidiosis is very common at this age. But I would think that they all would be feeling bad if it was the issue.
She may be a failure to thrive.

She does look puffed up in this photo (which I read could be a symptom). I was giving them acp in their water for the first 3 weeks but stopped recently. Would it hurt to treat her just in case?

Hi, hope you are enjoying BYC!

I had a chick wing from hatchery JUST like that one that lasted for a few weeks. It went away on it's own! It didn't seem to cause any pain or other issues.

I personally do NOT like the manna pro starter feed at only 18% protein. But what I especially pay attention to is the amino acids

Good luck!

She is the one that is by herself?
I would treat her for Coccidiosis, it won't hurt her. You can find Corid at Tractor Supply.

Dosage is 1 1/2 teaspoons Corid powder or 2 teaspoons of 9.6% Corid liquid per gallon of water. Give for 5-7 days as the only source of drinking water.

Let us know which one you get powder or liquid, we can give you instructions to direct dose her IN ADDITION to making the drinking solution.

The liquid Corid is less expensive at TSC, and you can give a couple of drops orally twice a day just to jump start her treatment

ACV won't cure nor prevent coccidiosis. Giving corid will not hurt if she does not have it but it could help a lot if she does.

I would stop giving the ACV a and offer plain fresh water.
