Well, something wrong must have happened under your daughter's care........ threaten to take away her iPhone if she doesn't fess up!
 
I got the liquid and gave the first dose by dropper per instructions to all that I could catch and hold. Husband should be home soon to help with the rest.

I also switched to the treated water per instructions. I'm heartsick over my poor columbian Wyndotte "Pigeon". She looks terrible, completely lethargic. i think I'm going to lose her.

Help!
I was gone for 2 days (daughter watching hens) and checked this morning. One was dead in the coop. Another barley alive. Took it inside to give some water and it struggled a little, had a big watery poop and died on the kitchen floor.

Help - what do I do for the other hens? I have 11 others and I'm worried sick. I just cleaned the coop last week with all fresh pine chips. Should I clean it again?

The Astralorpe that dies seem a bit low energy when I left, but I though it was molting (she was getting new feathers). The Barred Rock that died in the kitchen seemed fine.

I really need advise.

Coccidia! You need Amprolium/Chorid ASAP!
 
I'm so sorry, but glad you were able to get the medication. If she's not drinking you can give her the regular medicated water by dropper also in addition to the oral dose, to get the medication in her, try every 20 minutes or so. I would keep trying, they sometimes do bounce back. Hoping for the best.........

Your daughter must have inadvertently done something that caused all this, I just don't see it as a coincidence that for just 2 days under her care, that all your chickens fell ill. Go and ask her and come tell us what she said to you.

Its sounds like she's having a run with Coccidosis, her daughter didn't cause her whole flock to get sick.
