How long does it take the chick to start feeling better after starting Corid?

Welcome To BYC

Can you post some photos of the chick and her poop?
How old is she?
What are her symptoms?

Hard to know when you will see a chick feeling better - too many factors - how sick they are, how much of the Corid they are drinking, etc.

In case you need it - Corid Liquid Dose is 2 tsp per gallon of water and Corid Powder Dose is 1 1/2 tsp of Powder per gallon of water. Give for 5-7 days as the only source of drinking water. Do not give any supplements or extra vitamins while treating with Corid.

If the chick is lethargic and not drinking well, then direct oral drench her once a day for 3 days IN ADDITION to getting as much mixed Corid water into her as you can.
Oral Drench instructions can be found here: https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/corid-oral-drench-instructions.1211991/

She is one of 7 ,seven week old chicks. An astrolorp. Shes been on Corid for 24 hrs. Not really looking any better. Not eating or d rinking, yellow poop noticed twice. Her comb looks pale and she looks very weak.Noticed her standing in the corner of coop all by herself, fluffed up approx. 36 hrs ago.
Been giving her Corid by dropperful approx. every 2hrs. No improvement yet. I will start oral drenching her today.
I am treating the other chicks, they seem to be fine so far.

I feel partly to blame because I didn't use medicated starter food.
