Are they drinking well?
At that age, I usually put the water station up higher so they can reach it a bit better, you may want to try that. They are old enough and there shouldn't be a risk of drowning.

So glad they are doing better.

The feed store is closed I don’t k ow what to dooooo

You do not feed the babies medicated chick starter? The medicated chick starter feed can slow the growth of oocysts while the chicks develop their own immunity. Choosing between a medicated or non-medicated chick starter feed depends on whether or not your baby chicks have been vaccinated for coccidiosis. If they have not been vaccinated then they need to be on the medicated. Not that this is your issue It does not sound like coccidiosis.

Well, you can put it on a block of wood or something to elevate it some.

Medicated chick starter can do that, but there are plenty of chicks that still have an overload of Coccidiosis while on medicated feed and need further treatment. Feeding medicated feed is not a guarantee that chicks will not become sick.

Apparently it was cocci since the corid is bringing them back to me! They’re doing much better now!
