I think my chick is dying! URGENT!

So, no save-a-chick then? Just for the strength?

How long have these chicks been in your brooder? How many are healthy?

The sav-a-chick won't hurt.
I prefer a vitamin/mineral supplement for new/weak chicks like Nutri-Drench that gets into the bloodstream quickly. TSC and others carry it.
In lieu of that, baby Poly-vi-Sol without iron will work in a pinch.

They have been in the brooder since 8:30. Only one is weak. The rest are super hyper.

So they were 3 days old when you received them?
If it is coccidiosis, they consumed the oocysts before they were shipped. It isn't an airborne disease.
That's why I gave you the lab information. So you will know what happened.

Yes, they were 3 days old when I received them. Right now, we are not capable of sending the dead ones to a lab.

How old are they now? If they have bloody poop you need to go to the store and get them some amprolium (Corid, Amprol, AmproMed, etc.). Be sure to check the chicken and cattle section. Corid for cattle is okay to use in chickens.

Powder dose is no less than 1.5 teaspoons per gallon for 5 days, then 1/3 teaspoon per gallon for 7-14 days. If using a quart, use 1/2 teaspoon for 5 days, then 1/8 teaspoon for 7-14 days.

Liquid dose is 2 teaspoons per gallon for 5 days, then 1/2 teaspoon per gallon for 7-14 days. If using a quart, use 1/2 teaspoon for 5 days, then 1/8 teaspoon for 7-14 days.

Let us know if you get the powder or liquid.

Could you possibly also drop off stool samples to a vet? It's usually inexpensive($10 bucks for me) and will find coccidiosis. I wouldn't wait on the Corid though, just additionally you can share lab results with the hatchery.

So you got them today?

Yes, this morning.
