Edit:
I just went to check on the separated chick, expecting her to be dead as she wouldn't stand up or eat or drink.

She was not only standing, but I saw her take a drink of water too!

Also, she pooped while I was watching, and it wasn't bloody...just white and runny. Anybody know if this is a good or bad sign?

sounds like a good sign to me!!!

Woke up to anothe sick chick.

Separated her to the other sick chicks tub and changed the water bowls to fresh sulmet.

I also read that I have to wait 3 weeks between sulfu treatments

I'm hoping I see some improvement in the next couple days. This sucks.

I'll bet it does. Years ago I worked for a vet and coccidia is not fun to play with. Make sure you wash your hands after handling them and also before you touch the other chicks

I just hate when we lose one. You pray that you are doing everything right and it still isn't good enough. For some reason I have found if they make it to 1 week old they seem to survive. I had one(assisted hatch) that was always smaller and didn't feather as fast as the others but he is 10 weeks old now and looks just like the rest of his brothers.

Yeah, I've been hand sanitizing everything in sight after I touch it; doorknobs, the sanitizer bottle, the works. The chicks are on the medicated feed so hopefully I don't pass it. I'm also trying to limit my contact with the chicks [even though I really want to socialize them]

I hope this is over soon.

yes its very frustrating , i put chickie back in the big brooder and seems to be ok . food gone down over night and there is only 2 week olds so it must be eating . keeping a close eye on him / her . got one that has piped over night and i cant see the beak ? membrain is very white and dry should i help ?? chick is cheeping all the time , what do you think brook ?
