Yes, you can give plain. I wouldn't use any that are flavored or have artificial sweeteners.

Great, thanks. I got the medicine and gave them the water, all are active. Fingers crossed they will get better.

How much did you end up putting in their water?
Did you go ahead and dose any straight to the mouth?

I put 3/4 teaspoon in a gallon, I didn't give any straight to the mouth.... still not sure who is sick. When I checked on them tonight, they were drinking and have eaten.... all were active trying to catch mosquitoes. None of them are acting any different, but we will be watching all of them very closely! It means a lot to me how helpful everyone is, thank you!!

See the below quote for the correct dosage information. You can let all the chicks have Corid, it's mild and won't hurt them.

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.

After you finish the 5-7day treatment, offer them some poultry vitamins and probiotics/yogurt for a couple of days.

Ok, the other link said 3/4 tsp for moderate outbreak....I can give the higher dose in the morning if that is better for them

Anytime you see blood like that, it's best to start with the severe outbreak dosage.

Ok, thank you! I will be doing the higher dose in the morning when I change there water. Anything I should be watching for, that would mean they are getting worse?

Symptoms to watch for would be lethargy, not eating/drinking, loss of balance, loose droppings with mucous or blood and having a puff up appearance. They would look "unwell".
