Baby Chicks - Possibly Cocci?

[Pumperkinz]

Hi all,

Just got my chicks last monday and all were doing well. Had one failure to thrive I thought ended up being the startings of cocci so started everyone on medicated feed. Some how the brooder plate got turned off last night as people were visiting/looking at the chicks .

One of the tinier chicks isn't doing so hot had pasty butt/lethargic. I went ahead and mixed a gallon of water w/ a 3/4 tsp of corid. Also been giving her egg yolk which she's been eating slowly. Just to note their has been a few bloody stools as well is why I'm saying I believe this to be cocci.

Is there anything else you all would suggest doing or grab from tractor supply?

Corid is fine though a direct dose might be more needful. Do you have liquid or powder corid?

Hey - it's the powder form I just mixed it in a gallon of warmish water.

Sadly she passed this evening. I'm thinking it was more failure to thrive/cocci combination? All the others are fine but still doing corid's dosage as a precaution for 5-7 days.
