How's your little chick faring?
The sick one moved around a little more, but she still hunched, stationed in one place. She hasn’t shown any interest in the feed at all yesterday. I cooked egg, and she ate that, and she showed interest in dried meal worms.
I had to syringe her the Corid as I don’t see her drinking much. However, the first 2 days of that, I didn’t know and made a mistake of also giving her yogurt. Also, I didn’t know and I gave her the same Corid solution for 2 days without making a fresh batch every day.
I made so many mistakes I hope she can pull through!
And about the worm, let me tell you it wasn’t a pleasant finding.... The night before, I put down baby cloth diaper to where the slept for the night. Next morning, I took it out to clean By hosing it down. At first glance, it was a skinny, dried out thingy. I thought it was dried out droppings. As soon as the water hit it, it MOVED! I thought I must’ve seeing things! I hosed it again with water and it moved Again! I was terrified and was so scared I immediately killed it and now know I should have taken a picture of it!!
So I know for sure she has worms. Looking online, I suspect it was either a round, or an eye worm. No doubt in my mind that was worm. Another thing is my hubby got her from a very bad environment, a local feed store that does not have a good record of good husbandry. He got her home and she was covered in some dried up droppings, she looked very lethargic. He thought he picked a good one since she had a full stomach...
I just hope the Valbazen works.... I honestly am not surprised if she has both Cocci and worms based on her behavior and where she came from.
Thank you for reaching out!
