Help sick 3 week old barred rock chick

[casportpony]

Ok I got it I don't have a scale so exactly how do I give it to them how much they couldn't tell me measurement cuz it's for calves

I need to know exactly how much to use this is my first time with chickens and how long should I use it and how long til she starts feeling better? Thank u. Melissa

All chicks in the same cage get:
1/2 teaspoon (2.5 ml) per quart or 2 teaspoons (10 ml) per gallon. Ignore the cattle instructions, they aren't what chickens get. Give for 5 days. Must be only source of water. Make fresh daily. Clear enough? Don't be shy, if not clear let me know and I'll try to explain better.

The sick chick also gets one drop from a syringe today, tomorrow, and maybe Friday.

And that one drop is of the undiluted Corid, straight out of the bottle.

Are you using the Smart Water to make your Corid solution?
If so, use plain water instead.

Also put the Corid water in the yellow waterer so she can drink from that. I don't think the medicine cup is large enough for her to "scoop water". Make sure the Corid water is the only water available.
