What does it's poop look like?

 

[yoopergirl1211]

Normal. I saw a couple bloody ones in brooder so I started treating everyone. I just gave her a plate of food with brewer's yeast. I had tried it already but thinking I didnt give her enough. Hoping thats it....

I was giving nutridrench but I started treating with corrid because I thought it might be cocci so I stopped

I believe you can do both, but casportpony would be a good one to talk to about med's and dosing. Any signs of blood in the poop? We just had a girl on an fb page that had like problems. Her bird started having balancing/leg problems out of the blue. They took it to a poultry vet ran tests and ended up putting her down because she was positive for mareks.

How old is the chick?

Ok, it didn't show me the posts where poop was asked about, so ignore me...lol

They are from ideal. Really hoping its not mareks!

I hope so too! If there was bloody poop, it very well could be cocci. But I haven't had to deal with any big issues, knock on wood, so I can only go by what I've seen others experience in that area.

Do you have liquid or powder Corid?

 

[yoopergirl1211]

Liquid. Did a strong dose to each chick then one table spoon in gallon water.
Quick question my new little ducky is just going to lay around and sleep for now right? Or should I be worried about her?

Give her a day at least to get her feet under her... especially witha rough hatch it can take a bit... if still seems weak by tonight, go ahead and give her a couple drops of Nutridrench, should give a boost...
