Corid dosing

[Stephine]

If she were mine I would tube fluids to her at 8-12 ml per pound, repeat in 60-90 minutes, then again in 2-4 hours. Never force feed a bird that has not been drinking. Hydration status must be corrected first.

Look at this : 8-12ml per pound of bird. How much do you think she weighs?
If she's 5 lbs, you can try giving her 40-60 ml fluids at a time, then repeat that an hour to an hour and a half later.
If you happen to have nutri drench on hand, add some of that, otherwise add plain sugar to the water (it should taste sweet to you) - that way she can get fluids and energy at the same time.

If you are still giving Corid, do not give any supplements containing B vitamins at the same time. Corid works by starving the cocci of vitamin B - if you add more vitamins to the diet, you are decreasing the effectiveness of the drug.
If you are not comfortable tube feeding (and I wouldn't be), drop in whatever you are trying to give on the side of the beak, very slowly - not from the front, as that might go down the wrong pipe.
Now, cocci is less likely with an older bird - but you have had her for just 9 months and any change of environment can expose them to new types of cocci.
If they have never had warm , moist conditions before, it is possible that those new types of cocci are only becoming a problem for them now. They can also encounter new types of cocci that have hitched a ride on your shoes if you have been to a place with chickens lately.
If you give the dose for a severe infestation (the 2 tsp per gallon) and it is in fact cocci that is bothering your hen, she should feel and act better fairly quickly, in maybe two days. Her comb and wattles should look brighter and most likely you'll notice that in the hens that haven't been acting sick, too.
If Corid isn't making a difference I would go for a wormer.
Unfortunately there are many other things that could be wrong with your hen that you can do nothing about.
I am keeping my fingers crossed for you!

Have you checked every square inch of her skin and feathers for lice and mites? To me it looks like she probably has lice.

Can you pull the puppy pad out and get a clear close up of it?

Will weigh her now. So forget the gatorade and probiotics and just tube or drop water and sugar? Omg so confused. Havent looked her all over. Afraid to stress her more

She weighs 5lbs and is now drinking! Probiotics with gatorade and my homemade electrolyte. Your warm thoughts are working!

You can give her Corid orally, just not 2 teaspoons. Dose for a five pound hen is 0.5 ml per day. Her poop looks like it might have some blood on it, so continuing with oral Corid *and* Corid in her drinking water is what I would do.

Not giving Cocci today since we are not sure. Just trying to rehydrate her. I will examine her better now!

So now continue Corid? Everyone is saying no. in the meantime I need to know what I should do for my other birds should I start that treatment in their water also with probiotics and electrolytes?

Who is "everyone"?

I would follow Casportpony's advice. She has much experience. You can give the undiluted Corid 0.5 ml orally per day as she said, a few drops at a time. Corid is really safe, and I would get her rehydrated with the fluids and electrolytes as you are doing. With cocci or any other illness they may become very dehydrated and suffer from an electrolyte imbalance, because their bellies hurt and they are not hungry. She can live without food for a bit, but not without fluids.
