Chicken unable to stand

[elmcity]

Our 4 mo Australop is dropped over, unable to stand, and has loose stools. It looks like she is dying. What do we do?

check the coccidiosis thread, near the middle to last pages is a poo chart, which one of those poo's does hers' look like?

You may have coccidiosis which can be treated with Corid (amprollium.) I would start this ASAP. It comes in powder or liquid form. I would also check her crop first thing in the morning to make sure it is flat and empty. Check her for lice and mites. She could also have worms. Corid dosage has become debatable lately on this thread, but I would treat with 2 tsp of liquid or 1/2 tsp powder Corid in 1 gallon water for 5 days. Blood in the stool may or may not be present in cocci.
