Do you have Corid (liquid or powder)? That is the medication you will need to treat your chicks.

I have only treated Coccidosis with Corid (got it at TSC).
Dosage is:

Treatment	20% Powder	9.6% Liquid
For 3-5 days	1.5 teaspoons per gallon	2 teaspoons per gallon
then for 7-14 days	1/3 teaspoon per gallon	1/2 teaspoon per gallon

I made 1 gallon at a time and just filled their water w the gallon throughout the day as needed. Will need to dump any water after 24 hours and mix a new batch every day.

I’ve used corid as well, perhaps you can find it at a feed store or have it shipped. You should treat all the chicks with the water. I give them corid in the water. It clears up with it and they should all return back to normal. You can definitely lose a chick if not treated right away.

Depends on the severity. No way any of us could tell you for sure. I would start treatment ASAP.

Found this in an old thread:

I think it's called Amprolium 200 in Australia

If you can find corid tomorrow , that would be best. You can call around local feed stores and see where you can find it. Even ask a vet. You will need to change the bedding more frequently too, to keep the area nice and clean. The chick that is looking off, if you have electrolytes, to help boost it a little for now. It doesn’t solve the problem , but may give a little energy. They get very dehydrated very fast. It is a common condition that is highly treatable. I dealt with it this summer. It is actually a good thing to have on hand and keep corid at home.
