Whoa! This isn't Marek's. I deal with Marek's everyday and this ain't it. It would be way too early for any symptoms like this to be showing even if it were. I really do not believe it is though. Do not give Corid or you will totally negate the vaccination for the cocci they got. The feed is the same I have been using and shouln't be a problem. Time for more questions...
Nothing else going on at all. I mean, they occasionally sneeze but I looked that up and apparently if the food is really dusty (which it is, they actually bathe in it), that can be the problem. And it is only like once or twice a day among 15 chicks.
I'm thinking you may be right about the getting picked on as well. Just watch and see if anything changes. The vitamins should help a lot. Stress in animal or human uses up the B vitamins quickly and this causes a lack of energy. If you ever find yourself without poultry vitamins and you have a Super B Complex that you take, you can give 1/2 of a pill in a qt chick water for a couple of days [2-3-4] and you should see results soon. Get her back onto her normal feed as soon as you can. The vites are great but won't replace the actual feed making the gut work. Good luck and please keep this thread updated!
Thank you so much for your help! I just gave her a diluted version of a liquid B complex that I went and bought, so I am going to see if that helps at all, and I will definitely keep you updated.
Do you have a link for that? Believe it or not, I've never read about that. I know that the Bs are pretty much run the body through our nervous system. I'm glad you got the stuff. I am crossing fingers, eyes and toes that it's been caught early enough to reverse, if that is what it is. The Bs are absorbed fairly well and can make a difference in an hours time. May not be a big difference but still.....the point is, they get in there and start working right away.
Thanks for the link, some of the respiratory diseases will cause death of the embryo as well so it is kind of interesting. You could try a Super B Complex which will cover all of them plus give her some extra C as well. E is good for somethings but the Bs are the building blocks for neuro transmission of movement. Good luck! Again, thanks for the link, I read all that I can on this stuff.
If the B doesn't work, I am going to just go buy a bird vitamin that I found out was sold after I already bought the B. There are almost no feed stores around me, so I was surprised when I found this in a regular pet store.
