Sounds kinda what my birds have, especially since they are dying so quickly.

Can you get any amoxcilin?

 

[thinkyesi]

no, there isn't anywhere that sells it, I have amoxicillin pills from when I had gotten sick but the pills are 850mg, could I use those in a smaller dosage?
sometimes my local tractor supply has penicillin tablets.

I did a search and funnily enough it bought back to byc! I couldn't find the original thread whilst logged in so I took a screenshot. Perhaps @casportpony could advise better!

Oh No!
I’m so sorry.
I pray you find your answer.

Time for action.
You'll never know for sure what is killing them without a necropsy and lab work by an avian pathologist at your state diagnostic lab.
What state are you in?

 

[MissChick@dee]

Mold is never good.
You said they had very little blood in them?
Vomiting and yellow stools.
Crops full of water.
Poor condition of feathers.
Standing not moving.
And you had big rain storms.
Sounds like you need to move them to that new/dry loft ASAP.
Even with proper treatment their environment will prove to be a huge factor in their recovery.
Try your best to get them dry and warm. Best wishes
