Could this be coccidiosis?

He’s a lot perkier today. If I hadn’t noticed him being off yesterday I probably wouldn’t have known anything was wrong. View attachment 4230693

He looks great! Is he a Mille Fleur d'Uccle?

He’s acting a lot perkier today. His crop felt pretty normal yesterday. It was the consistency of my healthy birds, and this morning he is eating with them right now. I watched him have both regular and cecal poops- both were the same color and consistency of my healthy adults. I gave him the drench and corid water yesterday and he’s still consuming it today. Do I need to continue drenching or is the water source fine? He’s never stopped eating or drinking.

I continued the drench for the 3 full days, because I felt Corid was safe enough that the benefits outweighed any risks. But ultimately, it's up to you.

Yes he is! He’s my favorite of this batch. Here he is with one of his sisters.

Beautiful! I love d'Uccles. By pure luck, I ended up with one on my first group bantams. I didn't hands clue what I was buying as a new chicken owner. But I loved him so much that I've sought them out since. My oldest are actually 4 porcelains that are 12 weeks. And I've got 2 Self Blues and one Mille. This is Quinn, and she is my tiny little 8 week old.

I had my son pick a breed to breed for 4H and he picked them on a whim. They are so stinking sweet- even (sometimes, ESPECIALLY) the boys. We have porcelain and Mille Fleur. I think this boy is likely split to porcelain. He has the type I’m looking for so I hope he pulls through!

I hope he does too! He definitely looks better today than he did in your first pictures. And he's eating on his own, so that's great too. I bet he'll be okay.

What a Cutie!

As mentioned, give the direct oral drench for the 3days in addition to the mixed Corid water for 5-7days.

Don't stop treatments even if a bird is acting better, always try to finish the course.

Keep in mind Corid (Amprolium) is not an antibiotic, it's a Coccidiostat and is relatively mild, it acts as a synthetic Thiamine blocker which helps starve out Coccidia, so the numbers are reduced and allows the bird's natural resistance to build up.
