Cocci or cold

[Meggy565]

I have 6 week old chicks with their silky mother we just put in our outdoor brooder 6 days ago. It got cold last night. Around 30. This morning I noticed a few like this. Should I bring them all back in with mom? Treat with corrid? I also put supplement heat out with them but they dont seem very interested in it.

I would start some Corid at a dosage of 2 tsp of the liquid per gallon of water for 5 days. You might want to bring them in for a few days for warmth in case they are sick. Symptoms of coccidiosis are hunching up, not eating, runny poop sometimes with blood, but not always, and weakness.
