Coccidiosis in baby chicks? Help!

[BrittersCritters]

Okay thank you so much! So it looks like I should remove the corid, add sunlight, and bring back their water with vitamins and electrolytes and quit giving the garlic herbs and yogurt? My thinking was if coccidiosis I must treat asap before it gets so bad they have bloody poo and perhaps save a life and protect the other healthy chicks who would most likely all have it at this point. Pretty Please let me know if anyone disagrees, I want to make sure I'm doing everything right for these babies!

This could make sense! I have them in a bedroom inside my brooder with the red heat lamp all shades shut since I also incubate in this room. I can move them to another room with sunlight. Will this kill them or have hurt them the past week? I just didn't want the sun shining on them making them too hot, much easier to regulate brooder temp without that.

You need to check the temp in the brooder...it may be too hot.
Do you have the heat lamp on only ONE side of the brooder?

Chicks this age do not need 15 hours of day light.

Yes I have a thermometer in there set and I watch if they are cold or hot. Yes heat lamp is only on one side. I just never had any windows open for daylight so I need to change that asap for just a few hours.

Nutri Drench is a great product.

I have that! How would you use for 11 day old chicks?

Put a drop in their mouth twice a day for a couple of days.
But don't over load them with all kinds of different stuff.

If they are eating and drinking plain water...give them a drop.

Thanks! I've been using duravex vitamins and electrolytes in their water (except today I replaced with corid). If I stop the corid today since it's looking like it's not coccidiosis would you suggest the nutri drench in addition to the duravex?

You don't want to mix corid with vitamins, ever.
Give vitamins AFTER they are off of corid.

Right I'm going to take it away tonight and replace with the vitamins since everyone is saying it's not coccidiosis.

NO...one or the other.
Nutri Drench soaks right in, doesn't have to be digested, so I would recommend ND.
