Chicks came, three dead and one with pasting and swaying on her feet

Looks like some tissue or umbilical cord residue to me. Hopefully she will recover now that this obstruction no longer impedes a healthy metabolism.

Okay thank you, I wonder if that's what was making her vent look swollen.

That might be the case.

That might be the case.

What about cecal casing in coccidiosis? It looked pretty much exactly like ths pictures in this thread.

I agree, it almost looks like it. But your chic is very young, I do not know where she could have contracted coccidia, or did you have her running on the ground when you sent time outside with them?

To develop this mass I suppose she must have been sick for some weeks or even months, and your chick is only 4-5 days old.

Weird. They've never been outside, and I've been as careful as I can be traveling between them and my adult coop. I have had chicks with it at only eight days old but never seen a casing.
I went ahead and added corid to their water. I figure it couldn't hurt and since I've had chicks with coccidiosis younger I don't want to take any chances.
Anything I can give on addition to keep them strong? I have them in a quiet place in the house and am keeping them warm with plenty of food and water.
