We have 10 chicks that hatched April 12, shipped from Cackle. We’ve had them for three days now. Everything has been great until today.
First off I found a bloody mucus poop, I posted about it earlier today and I started a 5-day course of Corid. I’m not sure which chick had that poop, but I do have an Ameraucana with a problem.
This morning she wasn’t running about as much as usual. I think she’s lethargic, except she was able to run to me with the others to get food from my hand. I’ve seen her drinking but not sure how much.
Earlier this evening she sat there and didn’t run to my hand, so I put a small pile of food before her and she ate it enthusiastically. And a he scooted on her bottom to get to her next bite. She slowly tipped onto her side and back, kicking her legs like a turtle that was overturned. Another chick came by to check on her and she rolled all the way around and stood up. She started to eat again standing up, but soon plopped back down on her bottom like she was at the beginning.
Could this have anything to do with coccidiosis??
Video I took just before it happened
