Corids not working!!!

[briarpatchfarms]

I have 2 Cochin chicks that are 6 weeks old and seem very week to the point of death! there legs are stiff and wont eat or drink! They have had feed and water in with them all the time. I dont know whats going on! What can I do? I was looking and they have no meat on them they are skin and bones! just founded them like this today! I feed purina FR and CS 50/50. I have notice a little blood just yesterday in droppings!

Update: I need to know the dossage to the 9.6% Corid to a gallon of water!

I just lost my littlle Cockerel!

I talked to one of my friends and she said it could be coccidiosis

It sounds like it may be...I am sorry for your loss!

im so sorry

it does sound like coccidiosis

((

Did they ever get coccidiosiss shots when they were chicks?

You need to get some sulmet and put it in their water. You can buy this at Tractor Supply and most feed stores carry it. Cocci will kill them quickly--make sure their bottoms are clean as well. Good luck and SO sorry!!

Do you only have the two chicks? Sounds like cocchidosis, but hard to believe two chicks would create enough dung. Why do you feed 50/50? Did you show them how to drink water?

These chicks are 6 weeks old and Im switching them over to Flock Raiser only! I have 4 cochins and 40 or so silkies!
