Help! Sudden death!

should I treat the entire flock for cocci? I have corrid here at my house.

I don’t know how they would’ve been poisoned. They aren’t free range and are only handled by me and my husband.

Their symptoms don't match coccidiosis as far as I can tell. As others stated though.. the Corid JUST mimics thiamine to starve out and slow the growth of the coccidia... probably wouldn't hurt.

Are you able to post a pic of your set up for us to see? Ventilation, any place for something to be tossed in, sneaky predator issue, etc. What kind of waterer are you using? What type of bedding, how much space, any recent changes? ANY clues?

I can't let it by... you're having a baby, congratulations!

Botulinum or mold are likely to occur in compost.. depending on how it's managed.

Ah, good to know, thanks.

hovering the water and excessively drinking to the point of spitting up water. Their crops are HUGE and water filled.

lethargic

We started to think that they both had sour crops, by the smell of their breath, and began treating with miconazole.

She seems a little “drunk” but honestly she has been “off” since the day we got her. She never developed like everyone else.

I'm sorry for your losses.

As suggested, the Corid won't hurt them so worth a shot.

Something I see is you mention excessive drinking, crops are huge and you thought Sour Crop due to the smell of their breath - you started treating for Sour Crop with Miconazole.

Have you looked inside their beaks for any mucous, canker, yellow/white patches? Do the crops empty completely overnight?
