January 19th I purchased 10 baby chicks from Rural King. They started dying I’ve lost 3 and today 1. After finding out about the coccidia late (I’m new to this) I started them on Corid H2O yesterday. One of them I had to basically give triage care. It seemed to have worked it perked up was weak but eating and drinking when I offered while holding. He made it through the night today and seemed better this morning. When I checked him again not too long ago h was getting stiff, gasping and neck backwards. I am heart broken an can’t stop crying for these little souls. I’m so scared for the rest they are doing great eating drinking but this one passing tells me they’re not safe. I’m doing everything I should be I don’t sleep taking care of them this is a nightmare. Someone please help. How long should I do the treatment for I found online 5-7 days but 5 being the regular 7 with less Corid to avoid reinfection. What amount of Corid to what amount of water has worked best for you. Anything that helps I need help this is so unfair to these little souls. Thank you
 
What amount of Corid to what amount of water has worked best for you.
You have the liquid Corid, correct? The dosage is 2 teaspoons per gallon of water. Make a fresh batch every day. It should be the only water the entire group drinks for 5-7 days.

With chicks, I will make 32 ounces at a time. This scales the dosage down to 1/2 teaspoon of Corid per 32 ounces.

If you have POWDERED Corid, the dosage is different (and I don't immediately have that on hand).
 
Pictures of brooder set up, what feed are you feeding is feeder full at all times. What are you using for heat? Temperature of brooder? Do they have an area to get away from heat ? What kind of bedding are you using? What has there poop looked like picture would be good. Any blood in droppings?
