Help!

First time chicken Mama. This ~4 week ok light Brahma is abnormally sleepy today. Was completely fine yesterday. I walked outside and she was standing with her head just in the grass. She'll open her eyes but seems very low energy. I was going to give her a drop of egg yolk to see if that can help her feel better.

I brought her inside in the AC. What do you think could be happening?? She's one of my favorites I really don't want to lose her.

I'd get Corid and start treating her for Coccidiosis immediately. Treat your entire flock while you are at it by adding it to the drinking water but give her some individually. The instructions should tell you how. Fluffed up and lethargic like that at 4 weeks it could easily be Coccidiosis. It could easily be something else going on. They act like that when they don't feel well. But don't waste time. Coccidiosis can kill quickly.

Did you begin treating with Corid? Egg yolk isn't going to do a thing if it's coccidiosis.

Yes, I treated them all with Corrid. Sadly, that little light brahma passed away yesterday afternoon. All other birds looks good right now.

Hopefully the others continue to do well, but if you see any sign of lethargy I would make sure to do a complete round of treatment for the whole group.

I’m so sorry. Same thing just happened to me, but with a duckling.
