I wormed them and gave them probotics

Are any more showing symptoms?

Is that the one in the video? If so, I think your chick might have coccidiosis, and for that you will need Corid or AmproMed. Can you go to a feed store and get some?

Here is Kathy's post on the matter.

O's are doing just fine. They took 2/3 from Boston, @ Boston; in sole possession of 1st place in the division, again.

That's good my ex- St. L. Brownies are hanging in there.
Cards are doing well. It's just tough being in the best division in the NL and especially having the cubbies to chase with the best record in baseball and no sign of slowing down.
I guess the cards will have to shoot for a wildcard spot and hope they can win the WS coming in with the second wildcard spot like they did in 2011 when they beat the Phillies, then the Brewers, then the Rangers.

Chicks would not have a need to be wormed.

Glad to hear the others are doing well.

Again, unless chicks have been foraging on free range on with adult birds that had worms, they couldn't have worms so worming medication would be an unnecessary burden to the system. Chicks are not born having worms in their system, they have to eat a secondary host - none would be found in a brooder.

That's a bonus, congratulations.
Not all chicks are meant to live.

Quote: Looks like you & @MotorcycleChick were right about broodies sometimes taking longer breaks in the early stages. I just went out & found her setting on her empty nest again, so I put the two eggs from earlier back in with her. She tried to eat me up again, so I guess she's more committed than I gave her credit for. I'll just mark new ones every day 'til she quits laying & see what happens. I might start candling 10-15 times a day, starting tomorrow; haven't decided yet.

You asked earlier what breed she is. All 5 of the hens are RSL's. They're not known for broodiness, as far as I know, but the single hen I had from my previous flock (also RSL) stayed broody from June-August last year. Unfortunately, I lost her earlier this year @ 3-4 yrs. old; found her dead in the coop one morning. I consider myself lucky to have had two go broody in as many years. I kept straight RIR's for years, and always had at least one rooster with them, but never did have one willing to set for more than a couple days.
