Dying one week old chicks

Also that looks like an aquarium. I don't think you can get enough oxegyn flowing in there, this will cause illness/ death as well, and if not will as to it. Make sure you have enough airflow/oxegyn.

Good point, ventilation is important.

Thank you guys. I did change them to a roomier cage. I bought the cocci thought. If I give it to them it wouldn't hurt even if they don't have it, right?

Depends on what you bought... Corid or Amprol (amprolium) would be okay, but I wouldn't give Sulmet or any other sulfa drug unless I was pretty sure they had coccidiosis, which I can usually tell by looking at their poop.

what I bought was corid

Poop is mustered I gave them the corid and they are much more active. Hope it works. Question, if it was coccidiosis it goes away, they won't infect others later, right?

Consider your place contaminated, lol, it's highly contagious, but you should be okay once they are better.

I bleach everything. But my question is can I put these babies with the other once they are good. If they did have coccidiosis and the treatment works, how would it affect the others

Diluted cleaning ammonia works better to kill cocci parasite,all the information i have is that bleach will not kill parasite(i have used cleaning ammonia,never bleach).You have the Corid on hand so if any of your other birds show any symptoms,medicate immediately,do not wait. Coccidiosis can be spread by several ways,so an overload/outbreak can happen at anytime.

I don't know if the medicine worked or who was going to die already did, but after the medicine they are all looking very healthy and happy. Eating like crazy and running around.

Will continue for the following 3 days
