Help! I have lost two chickens to what i think is coccidiosis over the last month or two. The chickens affected are all between 4 and six months. One day they are very wobbly and off balance, and barely doing anything. By day two, they are just sitting alone on the ground, with their eyes closed, sometimes on one side, and their feet are curled up under them. They do not eat or drink. I have tried to stand them up, and them pretty much just fall over. By day three, they are dead. They do all have lice :/, but as far as I know, this is not life threatening. I have not seen any bloody poop. This certainly seems like coccidiosis, so I ordered Corid online. When it got here, I noticed another hen in the day one stage. I treated all of them, by putting a tsp in a gallon of water, which they drink through a poultry nipple. I thought she was still eating and drinking, and so I thought she would look better the next day. All the reviews say it works immediately, and I can’t really find anything about it not working. So I was surprised and angry and sad, when I found her in the day the day two phase the next day. I thought she might not have gotten any, so I redid the water, and then gave her about a third of a teaspoon of Corid. I pushed her beak in it, and she drank it. Now, day three, she looked like a typical day three stage: almost dead, only sign of life is miniscule movements upon being touched. Also, I noticed my rooster, about six months old, is looking wobbly but still active. I’m so frustrated that it’s not working. I have only seen negative effects since I started treatment!
Im pretty upset because Im losing my birds and I cant do anything about it, and because apparently I wasted 25 bucks on this Corid. Please help! I have no idea whats happening, or what to do! Also, I don’t have a lot of time to deal with this, except on weekends, and I really can’t afford much. Especially not a visit to vet. Please! thankyou
