morning Beautiful KAT!!Also good morning to @Sally Sunshine and everyone else.

New tubing set up for filling the water tray without opening the bator door.
Got a bunch of super useful medical supplies from a closing down vet office of Ebay a few years ago (Literally paid about $30 for several thousands $ worth of stuff).
This is made up of 2 IV extensions with a three way tap. One end will go into the outside resevoir of water, and one into the water tray. Use the 60ml syringe to suck up water from the resevoir and the 3 way tap to direct it into the tray.

They moved out to a coop that had not been used since fall days before these came. I have not even gone near the contaminated coop. I am waiting the full two weeks before I clean and spray.
If they started dying right away I would be very suspicious of stress from shipping and/or dehydration, not coccidiosis.

BACILLARY WHITE DIARRHEA OFCHICKS
Bacterial diseases
Colibacillosis (Coliform infections) http://msucares.com/poultry/diseases/diseases.html
also cocci is everywhere cant rule out the number one killer HOWEVER Between 2-8 weeks old is the most common age for chicks to suffer from an overload of cocci.
Kat what is that disease turkeys/chickens get that most vaccinate for showing birds, Trach something or other? what are those symptoms?
@daxigait @Sally Sunshine
This is what My Pet Chicken says about Bacillary White Diarrhea.:
Q: Pullorum Overview
A:
Pullorum Disease Also called
PD, Bacillary White Diarrhea, BWD, White Diarrhea
Prevalence-
Rare
Signs
General signs -
In chicks: lack of appetite, lethargy, huddling near heat source and fluffed up down. Pain and shrill peeping during defecation. In hens, excessive thirst, shrivelled comb, drop in laying.
Cardinal or diagnostic signs -
White or green diarrhea. In chicks, white pasting. Mortality is extremely high.
Cause/s -
Salmonella Pullorum bacteria
Communicability -
Can be communicated from mother to chick in ovo. Can be spread bird to bird directly and indirectly via feed or litter. Can be carried in by wild birds or by rodents. Can also be spread by and to humans from contaminated shoes or other equipment. Be sure to practice good biosecurity.
Communicability to humans -
Yes. Humans can get infected with this salmonellosis, chiefly by eating infected meat or eggs, especially if they are improperly cooked. Humans can also become infected by using poor biosecurity practices (for instance, coming into contact with infected litter and then failing to wash hands), so be sure to thoroughly wash and sanitize hands after handling birds or equipment.
Incubation period -
A week to 10 days
Latent
Yes. Chicks and chickens who survive can become asymptomatic carriers. When the latent infection remains in the ovary, as often happens, and chicks produced will be infected.
Endemic
Yes. This can be carried by song birds such as sparrows and finches.
Home treatment and/or prevention -
Prevention: Buy only from NPIP hatcheries and breeders. Practice good biosecurity. Keep your coop and run clean and dry.
Treatment: None. Mortality is extremely high in young birds. In addition, in most states, the disease must be reported to authorities, and the whole flock must be euthanized because this infection is so communicable in birds, also communicable to humans, and can remain latent in survivors.
Veterinary care - Consult a vet or your local extension agent to get a firm diagnosis and find out what the reporting laws are in your area. Regardless of the requirements of your local laws, though, we urge you to act responsibly and euthanize a flock infected with this illness so that it doesn’t spread to other flocks and pets, or pose a risk to your family.
Recovery - Unfortunately, this illness usually requires euthanization because it is so dangerous and communicable. Luckily, it is rare in the US.
Other conditions, illnesses and/or diseases with similar signs:
Can be mistaken for omphalitis, coccidiosis, and some other types of salmonellosis such as typhoid and paratyphoid. White diarrhea and pasting can also arise in chicks from simple chilling, so can be mistaken for pasting.
