Help sick 3 week old barred rock chick

[Wyorp Rock]

How often should I be offering water to her? Since I really don't think she's drinking on her own I haven't seen her eat today she defiantly sicker today

Encourage the Corid water as often as you can. Since she isn't drinking on her own, then she may be getting dehydrated.

Have you tried tetracycline, (Duramycin-10 brand name ) about 1/8tsp per quart of water for. You can buy this at any farm and range or feed store about $10.00 for a 6.4oz bag.

Yes I have it to her all of them for 6 days prior to starting the corid

May I ask why you were initially treating with antibiotics as mentioned in your opening thread?
Did they initially have symptoms of respiratory illness?

I'm sorry you lost her I know it's hard. Sometimes they go quick with it even when they seemed to be getting better before hand. Finish the treatment for the others and post immediately to BYC of anyone else has further symptoms after treatment is complete as we would then need to rethink the diagnosis.
