Chickens slowly losing weight and dying

[BigBlueHen53]

You mentioned using ACV in their water, is the container plastic/glass? From with I've read over the years, vinegar has a toxic reaction with metal. I used to put ACV in the water but now ferment feed, however every thing is plastic, glass or wooden spoon.

IF another passes, the best way to find out what's happening is get a necropsy as advised in prior post.

To send a chicken to a lab, do not freeze the body. Double wrap it in plastic and refrigerate it until ready to send it off.

Getting some testing/necropsy is best to figure this out if you lose another.

If possible, get a fecal float through your vet this week to see if worms and/or Coccidiosis are an issue.
If not possible, then consider deworming them and treating for Coccidiosis.
Corid and Safeguard can be found at most feed stores.

Liquid Corid dose is 2tsp or Powdered Corid dose is 1 1/2tsp per gallon of water given as the only source of drinking water for 5-7 days. Don't add any Extra supplements to feed or water that contain B1(Thiamine) during the course of Corid treatment.

Safeguard liquid goat dewormer dosing is 0.23ml per pound of weight given orally once a day for 5 days in a row.

Can you use both medications at the same time if unsure what the cause is?
