Smelly poop is often a sign of coccidiosis. And if any of the poop look like the picture below I can almost guarantee you that it is coccidiosis. Coccidiosis, plus too much calcium could kill them very fast.
Thanks again. I have the rest on it too since yesterday. I have the liquid. The 21 day treatment on the bottle is 8oz per 100 gallons, .48 teaspoon per gallon. Since the chicken was sick I was affraid too strong right away might be hard on her. The 5 day treatment is 16oz per 100 gallons, .96 teaspoon. I have a teaspoon in the other chickens water. If I add another teaspoon, that won't be too much?
mine says 9.6% solution.
I cleaned up their poops and threw them away since I didn't know what was wrong. I can take pictures of the the other chickens poops that are in the same group.
Even better! What I have been doing lately is giving some as an oral drench as well as some in their water. It's very safe and very hard to give too much according to the mfg I spoke to. I had one just the other day, 'bout the same age as your chicks, but mine was pooping pure blood, so I gave it .1ml orally and that cleared up the blood in two days. The "proper" oral dose for chicks is 20mg/kg, which is about .2ml of the liquid per 2.2 pounds. FWIW, the little guy I gave it to weighed less that 200 grams, so .1ml was way too much, but it didn't kill him. If you need help coming up with doses just let me know how much they weigh and I'll help you. If you want to just put it in the water the dose *is* 2 teaspoons per gallon or if you have a syringe it's 9.5ml, but I usually just round up to 10ml.
