Barred Rock chick. head down, lethargic, feisty LAST NIGHT

she is wanting to put her head so far under her that she sits on it.

What have you been feeding her?

Wanting to put the head under herself, does sound like Wry Neck. Do you have an Poultry Nutri-Drench?

If someone can give me good dosage instructions for Corid for me. I have 8 chicks and will give to all if that is a good idea. I am going to head into town and try and gather supplies to treat both cocci and wry neck.

Can you take a poop sample to your vet and get results quickly?

That isn't the typical cocci look I am familiar with.

I'd skip the Corid and dose directly to the beak with liquid vitamins.

Dosage info was in post#17 re-quoted it below

Can you post some photos or a video of her? Standing by herself not being held.
You mention you put pond sand in the brooder? Where was this sourced from?

I agree, it does sound like Coccidiosis as suggested.

Treatment is with CORID which can be found in the cattle section of Tractor Supply. You may find it in powder or liquid. Dosage is 1 1/2 teaspoons Corid powder per gallon or
2 teaspoons of 9.6% Corid liquid per gallon. Give for 5-7 days - make sure this is the ONLY water available during that time period. Mix a fresh batch at least once a day.

At this particular time, you want to only feed them their normal chick starter. Changing up the diet to broccoli or tuna can wait until you get this figured out. Check your feed bag to make sure it's in date and not moldy. (if you have a photo of the feed bag, that would be great).

I'm not sure where you found info that Wazine (piperzine) would be a good treatment for Coccidiosis, please don't use that - it is an anthelmintic (de-wormer) for Ascirids (roundworms). As mentioned by @EggSighted4Life it's highly doubtful a 2week old chick would be suffering from worms.

This is what Corid looks like.
