Is my leghorn ok

Ok

Should I let her be with the rest of my flock and treat them all for cocci or should I keep her inside with me. Also, in the event that she doesn't have cocci would it still be safe to give her medicated water? And one last thing, Is it ok to give the recommended qt inch suppository/half inch amount of cream for her even though she's young and isn't that big right?
Up to you whether she goes back out or not. She does not look well to me.
She will need you to give the yeast medication 2X a day and you need to make sure she's drinking the mixed Corid water.

Yes. It is o.k. to give her the cream. I fully understand she is young. Yes. I have personally treated birds that young with yeast medication, just like in the article and treated with the Corid at the same time with no problems.
Follow the dosing in the article.

Ok, thank you so much! I will be giving nitostatin as we apparently had some on hand and I will go out later to buy the corid

Sorry, one last thing, for her water, I'm using a qt jar small waterer for her, is 10 ml of corid the right amount? Below is a pic of the corid and waterer. And also, would giving her game bird protein starter better for her or should I stick to something with less protein like the starter chick feed she's already on

Hi there, it's been about 4 or so days since I started her on miconazole (there wasn't enough nytostatin left in the tube to last long so I ended up just starting her on miconazole) and she has sort of been acting better, however her poop is instead of a brown almost slightly red color, green, she's also been starting lose a lot of weight. Is this normal and should I keep going? Also, to deal with the weight problem I was thinking of switching her to a probiotic electrolyte water mix. Would it be safe at this point to take her off of corid? (she's been on it for 5 days).
 
a month or so ago I bought some leg horns from tractor supply, all of them when I got them were healthy. They ran around, ate, fought over treats, the whole baby chick ordeal (although admittedly they were a bit afraid of me and my family). However, this particular one has just been standing and not moving at all unless she's getting chased by a person. She won't eat or run for treats which is worrying meView attachment 2302872View attachment 2302873
I suspect it may have something to do with her crop as it's a bit bigger than the other leg horns (btw I'm not completely sure if it's a she or not and would like your guys opinions as well) also she's been like this since this morning.
Are you also giving chick grit?? Its really important. If it doesn't drink anything I'd try dipping it's beak just to get something in it. You can mix in a little honey and that will help give it energy! Is she loosing weight or are her feathers unruffled? I just had to deal with this and I syringe fed mine corid that were sever. I noticed the really sick ones were all puffed out and when they got better they went back to looking more "sleek". Though @Wyorp Rock helped me and knows alot.

Can you post a current picture? Also I'm not an expert and maybe its dumb but I found constantly changing the bedding and cleaning everything helped alot. Since coccidia live in the feces it spreads everywhere so it just seems to help to be extra on top of it during an outbreak. Is it eating more? Does it still have a full crop?

She's losing weight (I could tell by comparing her to her sister) and her feathers were puffed, I put two or so teaspoons of corid in her qt jar of water and I've been making her drink the water. I try to clean her bedding once a day as a precaution just in case she does have corid, doesn't seem very likely though because nobody else in the flock is going through what she is right now (but I gave them all corid too just in case) her crop empties out I'm not too sure but her crop doesn't really empty out overnight, I know she's eating and drinking because I can feel the food in her crop and see the waterline in the jar lowering so I think her problem is sour crop rather than coccidia. Here is pic of her poop that she just dropped

Some of her poops look mostly normal but instead of a white liquid stuff surrounding the brown feces it's all green. I can't get a pic because I already threw out the bedding that had the poop

Odd question but if you smell that chickens mouth compared to your other chickens mouth is their a different oder? Sour crop can apparently smell bad
