Backstory: I had 2 Easter Eggers but one died. I sent her off for a necropsy but I didn't want the other EE alone so I bought 2 black australorps since the store didn't have any more EE.
Well, the Easter Eggers got sick about the time I got the necropsy report back. The other died from E.coli that she probably had since birth. So I started giving enthrofloxin in the water for all 3 as directed. Lots of calculations to get the right dose but I did it thanks to Google.
Anyways, now they are better. The EE is walking and standing straight and everybody poops solid again but they still have ruffled feathers. Are they still sick? I hate to give them more antibiotics but I don't want them sick.

PS Th australorps only had diarrhea and ruffled feathers.

What age are they?
Can you post pictures of them?
 
I recommend giving them probiotics. You can buy Probios dispersible powder at a feed store and sprinkle it liberally as a top dressing on their feed to eat for several days. It will promote good bacteria to flourish after using the Baytril.
Ensure feeders and waterers are feces free.
