Does anyone know what this is

[Sue STT]

Good afternoon

I take care of about 40 wild chickens, I see this happening to a bunch of the young chickens about her size or smaller in the photo. I call it a zombie state, they will not lay down and they just stand there with there head covered in there back.
She did eat and had a few sips of water, but definitely starting to sink more into zombie mode. I have never had any success with saving them. If anyone knows what this is and if there is a cure or a way to stop it I would greatly appreciate it.m

Thank you in advance

Sue

Getting a state necropsy is always a good option when you are having multiple deaths with the same symptoms. Are all of the deaths the same age? Did you try treating for coccidiosis?

I have no idea what this could be, when something like this happens to me I treat them the best I can with antibiotics and hope for the best

I would treat the chicks with Corid for possible coccidiosis. Dosage is 2 tsp of Corid liquid or 1.5 tsp of the powder per gallon of water for 5-7 days. Change water daily. If you lose any more, take a body in to your state vet for a necropsy. What are you feeding? Do they have a heat source? What are poops like—runny or any blood? Where did they come from? Sorry for your loss. Here is where to find your state vet to contact and ask about a necropsy/autopsy:

You can call it a zombie state and I'll call it coccidiosis. Get them started on Corid 9.6% liquid solution. Dosage is 9.5ml per gallon of water for 5 days. Make it fresh daily, do not add anything else to the mixture and it must be their sole source of water to drink. Do not give them anything containing thiamine while they are drinking Corid.
Feed stores should carry Corid, it'll be in the cattle section.
