Help!

Maybe! I am in shock because my grandma's chicks LOVE it. I'm going to keep the brooder heat turned down. I was thinking maybe it's the heat but the other chicks are fine. I also keep a thermometer next to it and it's always around 95. I also raised up her brooder plate a couple days ago. I read green poop means infection but her poop was back to brown when I saw her poop yesterday and today. She drank a little bit of water today with the corid in it. I thought was a good sign since she had not been wanting to drink at all before. So I'm not sure why they won't eat the wet food. I'll keep trying!

95 is too hot, back it down to 85

was that the color? The Cocidiosis??

I would think if she had it they all would start to show signs soon. If the other's are OK, I would put that on the low list for now. NOT saying it's not the issue but until the rest show's signs I wouldn't consider that. If I recall they would get bloody poop as well.

well you can't compare one with the others, you will always have the "odd ball" one out of the group. Where did you get these guys?

Cleaver farm and home. She's an Americana with an I. Lol... I live in Kansas if that matters.

Personally I would get rid of the heat, if you have 3 or more they will be fine, they will cuddle up with each other..

Exactly. No bloody poop. I figured I'd treat it just in case. I'll leave it out of the water tomorrow.

I got her as a tiny baby march 14. I'm assuming around 3 weeks old

An "Americana with an I" is an Easter Egger. Mixed breed. Perfectly lovely birds, but ... not to be mistaken for a purebred Ameraucana.
