Heh, gang. Need guidance (as usual). For once, it doesn't matter what color you see, it's the size diff. The lavender was equally as small and passed this a.m. i thought this littliest one was going too, but it perked up after some scrambled eggs and a bolus of nutridrench. It slept curled up under my chin after constant loud chirping. The bigger one kept trying to lay on it,which is how I found the violet when it died. I have some kid size footies for keets, so slipped it in one and it snuggled under my chin.
Both of them have light colored, loose, wet stool now. I almost want to say it smells faintly like human c-diff, but can't swear to it.- something that small doesnt cast much of a lingering odor.
Now-the littlest was staggering and sleepy this a.m. The bigger had a bit more energy. As I said, they perked up after the eggs,and started eating their crumbles after that. So we're eating and drinking and brighter eyed but poopy. I picked up some corid 20% powder, bc it seems like it's something you shld have when you need it. But - there's no blood in the stool, haven't noticed mucus, it's formed but wet...if I'm reading this list correctly, I should start the corid, yes? I've already rinsed their water bottle out and changed the water, does there need to be a delay in starting since they've had nutridrench & B complex in water all day? Little one has been very thirsty. And chances are I should treat those in coop as well?
I did make up my mind and received another batch of eggs today, and would like to discuss that as well, but for now they're resting upright, incubator is running, and 3 hygrometers are being salt tested. Will gather thoughts on eggs after dinner.

i can pick up some save a chick. They were out of startena when I was preparing so I bought some dr. Something with probies in it, but was afraid the food was the problem and was able to track down startena today. Im out of Epsom salts so gave them baking soda soaks . They enjoyed that and are all fluffy dry and sleepy now. The little one is curled up in my palm. Super sweet and yes, cuddly birds.they love being close and thumb -stroked. Off to read the article you posted.
I figured the extra day in transit was to blame. I’ve been giving saveachick in addition to plain water. Washed butts and put neosporin on them. So far the deaths have slowed, but one keet is half the size of the others so I don’t expect it will make it
I’m so devastated.
