This Easter egger chick is 5 weeks old. I was treating it with corid(some of my other chicks had bloody stool) it was acting a little weird so I just treated them too. Only 3-4 days. Then switched to a respiratory medication bc it was coughing. Tomorrow they will be finished with that medication. All other chicks seem healthy but this one is very lethargic and weak acting. It feels almost hollow when I pick him up. It’s resting and drinking and I haven’t seen any blood in stool. His wings are hanging down. Do I do a full treatment with corid again? Is that too much on him? I’m not sure what to do. Anything helps thanks

Coccidiosis can make them very weak. I would give Corid 2 tsp of the liquid per gallon for 5-7 days. Alao you can give some undiluted Corid liquid 0.1 ml per pound daily as a drench in addition to the treated water. Diarrhea is a sign, and blood only occurs in some strains.
