3week old rhode island red

[nickel chick]

My 3week old is not eating or drinking I was gone over night and she was fine today she is just sitting there next to my older frizzle almost 2months but still to cold at night to put out. I tried making saline water from a recipe I got from here. She didn't make but I held her till her last breathe. Sounds stupid but she was so little I couldn't let her be alone at the end. But now I am afraid for the others that were in with her. Should I be worried or Should I get some meds for them?

I am sorry for your loss. My wife and I have lost a few girls so we know how it feels. Outside of what you already posted is there anything else you can tell us about the # week old

The signs of coccidiosis are not eating, standing around puffed up, being lethargic or sleepy, diarrhea or blood in stools, and ruffled feathers. If you notice any others with any of those symptoms, then I would get some Corid (amprollium) from the feed store. It is a cattle medicine, and the dosage is 2 tsp of the liquid, or 1.5 tsp of the powder per gallon of water, and treat all chicks for 5 days. It won't to hurt them to treat them just in case it was cocci that killed yours chick. Sorry for your loss.
