HELP! Olive Eggers are dying

[Jprze84]

One and a half teaspoons of powder corid in one gallon of water. I've been told to do this for 6-7 day's and I've been told 3-4 days. What dosage and how long do you suggest?

You are correct with the 1 1/2 teaspoons Corid powder to 1 gallon of water.
Treat for 5-7 days making the Corid water the only thing they drink.

Okay, thank you. And the corid water mixture is the only water they're drinking, with no probiotics or anything else, just corid water.

well the corid treatment was stopped yesterday. Today one of 3 left seems to be more lethargic and not eating or drinking well. I noticed she has bright green poop and getting worse. I fear the worst for her and I'm wondering if anyone has expierenced this before? I've tried dried meal worms, moist crumble and hard boiled egg yolk, ive also tried feeding her through dropper with no luck. But she is just not eating like the others she does eat and drink. Also she won't do anything unless the temperature on one side is 89°F. Is there anything I can do?

I'm sorry she is not improving.

Since you have finished the Corid treatment, try to get some Poultry Nutri-Drench into her. You are doing everything you can for her. Some chicks just fail to thrive no matter what you do.

She passed this morning. Its really upsetting to see my olive Eggers dying one after another while the Maran's are doing just fine. I live in northern Michigan, does anyone know where I can find hearty olive Eggers around here?

Dang sorry for your continued losses.

Sorry you're having such heartbreak

Try asking in the Michigan State Chat thread:

Provide your city there and how far you're willing to travel.

I'm so sorry

Yes, this is upsetting. I'm sad for you. It's twice as upsetting not knowing why these chickens died. A necropsy would give you the answers you crave.
