Brooder temp high enough under the lamp? At this age and being sickly, maybe 90-95-deg-F?
Can you supplement with scrambled eggs?
What starter feed are you using?
Thank you for the picture! I don't think my chicks look like this chick. Our friend hatched our eggs in his incubator- lesson learnedBelow is what "puffed out" looks like.
Where did you get them with such a sad start in life? Heat lamp in a galvanized tub, watch your temps to not get too high.

Good idea! I've put a piece of paper in the brooder to get some fresh samples and will take it today. I'll let you know what they say.Have you done a fecal float for these guys?
I received the Corid from the vet and am mixing from the written instructions. I'll attach a picture. I put approximately 1.1ml in 4 cups of water.Re-start the Corid and make sure you are giving the correct dose. Corid liquid dose is 2tsp or Corid Powder is 1 1/2tsp per gallon of water given as the sole source of drinking water for 5-7 days.
Is your chick starter fresh?
Photos of current poop in natural light so we can see what's going on.
Temperature of your brooder would be good too.
Poultry dust with permethrin. Im attaching pictures of the dust. I'm not sure what they were, mites or lice I'm guessing. Some of them were whitish/gray and some were reddish brown.What did you dust them with for the little bugs crawling on them? Were they mites?
Can you get the temperature directly under the lamp and in the far side completely out of the heat? Is your brooder kept inside a heated area? Depending on how cool your far side is you might be cooking your chicks. 86F is too hot for a cooler area of a brooder. By 2 weeks the hottest part of my brooder is 80F max when using a light and when I am use the brooder plate the chicks are not even using the brooder plate half of the time (unheated barn).Temp is measuring around 86⁰F in center (not directly under the light and not as far away as they can get).
I will try the scrambled eggs - thanks for the suggestion.
We are feeding Ranch Pro Chick Starter-Grower Crumbles. I'm adding a picture.

I've dumped their water and put only Corid in.

I purchased the feed within this month from Atwoods.
I'm attaching pictures of poop.

The first picture is poop from today. The second picture with red writing on the paper is older poop that was kicked up on the paper.Are they drinking enough water? How old are those poops?
Here are 2 more poo pictures. They vary quite a bit.Those poops look weird to me. Mine, if I remember that age right, looked less like little pieces of stuff. More like a lump of brown with a little bit of white bird poo on top. Sorry, not sure how to talk about poop without it being nasty
It was 116 directly under the light and 70 on the coolest side. They are inside our house and the thermostat is set to 68.Can you get the temperature directly under the lamp and in the far side completely out of the heat?
