Quote: You might want to start them on Corid for coccidiosis. Powder dose is no less than 1.5 teaspoons per gallon for 5 days, then 1/3 teaspoon for 7-14 days. Liquid dose is 2 teaspoons per gallon for 5 days, then 1/2 teaspoon for 7-14 days.

I've had some in brand new brooders in my house get it. Did I read that some already died, or was that on another thread? Any deaths, along with lethargy and pasty butts, I would start Corid.

There's oatmeal pieces in the chick baby cake, that's their favorite part. How much nutri drench and how often should I give it straight to the little chick? And can I give the nutri drench to her while she has the sav-A-chick in her water? I can't tell if she got pecked in the eye or not, but she does complain when I touch it. Are you talking about the antibiotic ointment that you put on wounds? Should I separate her from the other chicks and put her in with the ducks?

Make sure to check them daily for pasty butt. I'd give her a couple drops 2X a day in her mouth and let her drink save a chick along with the rest. The best eye ointment would be from feed store terramycin or Veterycin spray I think I have seen where members have used a little neosporin with out pain around the eye too, but I'd wrap her gently in a soft towel or cloth and try to look into her eye she may have something in it like dust from the bedding or from the feed. If the other chicks aren't stepping on her or picking on her I'd leave her with them. You can make a saline wash by using a small amount of salt 1/8 teaspoon to a cup of warm water and gently rinsing the eye if you suspect there is something in it.

Your original post said that you lost 4, so I would treat all for coccidiosis.

4 of them died on the second night, and the rest seem to be doing well this past 5 days. We asked someone at Tractor Supply what could of caused them to die and she said that they go through a lot of stress coming from a factory, and transported and that it happens all the time. If they had some kind of disease, it doesn't make sense why only the Amber Links passed.
