HELP!!!!! Baby chick is dying

[Rachele anne]

Your doing a good job she's lucky she has such a caring owner

Unfortunately Shiloh didn't make it. She just had a seizure and passed away while I was holding her I am of course balling my eyes out and am worried that it will happen to the rest of my little chicks. I am going to the tractor supply for meds now. I live in a small town so hopefully they have what I need..the other chicks seem fine but I do not want to lose another one to whatever illness this is.

What meds work best for cocci(?)

At 4 days old she did not have coccidia. However, Corid is good to have in your medicine chest for future problems. If none of the rest of the chicks are sick, they probably do not need Corid.

I'm sorry she didn't make it sometimes there's nothing you can do at least you tried

You guys have helped so much. At least she had a good life..

One of my other chicks has dark brown runny poop that smells RELLY bad. Could this be a sign of something?? Is there anything I need to do for her?

 

[Rachele anne]

I'm not sure but you could feed her a little plain yogurt it has good bacteria in it so if there's something not quite right maybe it could help... I would keep her separated for now just in case.

I am sorry. Did the chicks act like this as soon as they hatched? Or did you buy them from a hatchery?

 

[Sara Monty]

Just that one. It was so sudden, while I was cooking dinner she started acting lethargic and by the next morning she was gone I got them from an individual who hatches. The others are doing great! Hopefully it was just failure to thrive and the others won't get sick!
