I have a chicken who I think may have cocci and I am treating her for it. 2 days ago she seemed a little sluggish, I figured it was the heat and put some NutriDrench in the coop water. Yesterday, she was worse- not moving much, not eating or drinking without encouragement, and droopy.
I've isolated her in an old brooder box in my bathtub inside. I've given her 2 oral drench doses of corid, as well as the water dosage in her water. I am also doing a corid water treatment with my other 3 chickens to treat them all.
My question is- do I really need to isolate her, if they're all being treated? She absolutely hates the brooder box and she doesn't really fit in it. The dog crate I wanted to use doesn't fit inside the bathtub, and our garage gets well into the 90s in the afternoon with no ventilation. I know she would be so much happier outside with the other chickens, but honestly I don't know what to do. This is our first round of chickens ever, and the first sick chicken we've dealt with.
