(1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens?
Newish to poultry. I have raised chicks in passed with my mother who is experienced in raising them since she was raised on a farm when she was younger.

(2) How many chickens do you have right now?

2 at the moment, sadly 2 died from cocci but I am administrating corid for the last surviving two. I want to strive. Eating and drink hasn't been lost but exposure from those two, it is highly likely they have it

(3) What breeds do you have?
I'm not sure, I have a picture of them on the profile if anyone can tell me what breed they are.

(4) What are your favorite aspects of raising backyard chickens?
Love to raised chickens and have them lay eggs. Get them used to our big huskies. Friendly pups and intrigued with the chicks.

(5) What are some of your other hobbies? I like to paint and draw.

(6) Tell us about your family, your other pets, your occupation, or anything else you'd like to share. I am in college at the moment and wanted to raise some chicks with my mom again. I have two mixed malamute and Siberian huskies and weighing 70 lbs each. Very friendly and fluffy.

(7) Bonus: How did you find BYC, how long have you known about BYC, and what made you finally join our awesome community?


I want more knowledge on how to raise chicks properly and my do it when I am stable and with kids of my own for them to experience.

Update: they’re eating good and one was showing a bit of symptoms since yesterday but today she’s eating and drinking.

Hello and welcome to BYC! :frow Glad you joined.
Coccidia live in the digestive system of chickens. It's normal that they are there. Disease is caused when conditions promote the rapid overgrowth of them, then coccidiosis results. When you are finished with your amprolium treatment, you might want to consider feeding them a small amount of buttermilk for 3 or 4 days or offer probiotics for a week or two to help build up their guts after the coccidiosis.
Good luck with the remaining two. I can't ID them based on the photos you posted. Sorry.
