I started giving my 4 bantams outside time for most of the day last 3 weeks and have been fine. Yesterday I noticed one sitting by itself, puffed up and head down and then noticed blood. I checked for injuries and saw no blood on vent or anywhere on chick. She feels hotter than the other birds. I brought them in and she is still eating and drinking but not alot because her crop doesn't seem to have anything in it everytime I check. I started corrid on all of them was feeding medicated feed. They are now all back inside in quarantine away from my other birds. I'm going to start electrolytes with the corrid. Is there anything else I can do or is this something else. I appreciate any help.

I wouldn't give the electrolytes, Corid should be the only thing in the drinking water. Dosing is below.

For the one that is the sickest, I would direct oral drench her IN ADDITION to her drinking the mixed Corid water throughout the day.
Give her an undiluted dose of Liquid Corid at a rate of 0.10ml per pound of weight twice a day for 3 days.


Mixed Corid water dosing instructions:
Liquid Corid dose is 2tsp or Powdered Corid Dose is 1 1/2tsp per gallon of water given for 5-7 days as the only source of drinking water.
Do not add any Extra vitamins/electrolytes that contain B1(Thiamine) to food or water during the course of treatment.

Thank you, I hadn't given the electrolytes yet so will hold off on that. Fingers crossed they do ok.
