They may have cocci which is treated with Corid.

 

[candyzchicks]

should i treat all the chicks or just the sick one?? and how much should i put in a 1 quart water container??

Sounds like it may be Coccidia. Do they look sorta ruffled? Look at their poop and see if there is any blood.

 

[candyzchicks]

yes they are ruffled but no blood in poop im gonna get corid

at feed store tomorrow they are closed today i hope this works...thanks for your help

 

[candyzchicks]

i thaught i should update this in case sombody else has this...i treated with deramycin and now they are all better thank goodness

 

[LaynaDon95]

Yay! I'm glad to hear it. Did you figure out what was wrong?

 

[candyzchicks]

i never found out what they had but it loked alot like cocci but full treatment of corid and they were still dying so i thaught i would try antibiotucs and they all look good i was really suprised becouse one was so bad i didnt think it would be alive when i got home from the tractor supply but it pulled through

Good. I'm so glad. I'm sure you're relieved.
