I bought a 4 week old leghorn, she is really lethargic. I have put her in on her own in a heated box away from the others. I have started to treat her for coccidiosis as she has really browny yellow runny projectile stool. Does anybody have any idea what's going on? Thank you
 
Welcome to BYC. It sounds like coccidiosis to me since it is very common in chicks under 11 weeks, but I would like to hear more details about her. Where did she come from, how long have you had her, are the others the same age from the same place, and have they been on dirt yet? How are you mixing your Corid? Symptoms of coccidisois are lethargy, diarrhea, puffing up or huddling, and poor appetite. Is your chick drinking the Corid? You can also dip the beak into it, and add a little to their food. Here is a link with some good info on cocci: http://www.the-chicken-chick.com/2012/12/coccidiosis-what-backyard-chicken.html

Hiya she came from a breeder, she hasn't been on soil yet as were in Wales and it's still cold to them outside. They're all the same age. I have been mixing it with their water.
