Does anybody know what this is?

Thanks, I have'nt seen any blood in their poo, and I can't get the barred rock to eat or drink. I put some Terramycin hydroxide soluble powder in their water, actually in everybodys water.

Wher can I get some sulmet or corid, Thank you everybody for all your help.

Is cocci contagious?

You can get it at your local feed store(preferably Corid-easier on them if you can get it). 1 tsp. per gallon of water.

I would treat everybody if I were you.

They look cold to me, but it could be cocci as well. When chicks get chilled, they are more susceptible to illness. They need heat. That black chick is not fully feathered based on the pics. I'm not certain if the barred is or not, but it wouldn't hurt to warm them up to see if it makes a difference.

yes, cocci is contagious. If you suspect it, it is best to treat all. Then do a thorough clean up of coop since it is passed via stools and dirty litter. Also, follow treatment with a probiotic.

Your right both of them are'nt fully feathered, they are pretty small also. For heat they go up under the mother hen, should I still add heat for them? And you say corid, is it a liquid?

 

[easttxchick]

Corid is a liquid.

What kind of probiotic should I use to treat with the corid? Sorry about all the questions:/

I hope this isn't their permanant residence. The wire isn't good for their feet or health and they do look cold. Can you add some bedding so they can rest? They look like a big breed of bird and they might eventually get breast blisters.

Have they ever been on the ground/soil. I thought the only was chickens could get cocci is from exposure from the soil.

Any runny nose or sounds when breathing? If the answer is yes then they have a respiratory infection. For a respiratory infection I highly recommend Tylan powder. It is soluable for their water and works fantastic.

Plain yogurt, believe it or not. I give it to mine a couple of times a week just for their general health. They love it!

Don't feel bad about the questions, I'm glad you care enough about your birds to try and find out.
