After letting my chickens out to range this morning I noticed that my daughter's bantam is sick looking. She isn't moving much unless prompted. Right now she is just laying in the yard, the same spot she was in about an hour ago. She acts like her balance is off, as she will start to fall over and put out a wing to steady herself. Her comb and wattle are very pale in color. I notice she is having diarrhea, so far it just white. Did note that it had some green at one point. I syringed her some electrolyte water just so she had something in her while I try to figure out what is wrong.
After some reading I suspect it's Coccidiosis. Does this seem right? Could it be anything else? If it is Coccidiosis what are my next steps?
I know she needs Corid, which I assume we'll have to syringe into her. How do I protect the rest of my flock? I have three adult chickens and four chicks that are 9 weeks old.
Please help, it's my daughter's birthday and I don't want her favorite chicken to die.
