Lethargic Silkie not eating, will drink with assistance

[SgtLilBit]

Lucy is about 10-11 weeks old, I noticed her starting to become lethargic on April 10, 2017. I brought her inside last night because she didn't improve. I had picked her up earlier in the day and when I set her down she just settled in for a nap right where I set her. She was isolated, didn't want to come out of the coop when I let everyone out in the morning.

Her stools are now loose, reddish brown with white. I have electrolyte water available to her but she refuses to drink on her own so I've been manually giving her water. She is more lively with her peeps but she's not moving around much if at all.

Her crop feels empty. I can't smell sour food so I don't think it is an impacted crop.

Welcome to BYC. Go get some Corid at your feed store to treat her possible coccidiosis. It is selling quickly right now, so you might call ahead. It comes in powdr packets and liquid. Dosage is 1 1/2 tsp of the powder or 2 tsp of the liquid, per gallon of water, and treat all same age chicks at once for 7 days. Afterward, give them vitamins and probiotics for a few days. Here is some reading about cocci: http://www.the-chicken-chick.com/2012/12/coccidiosis-what-backyard-chicken.html

Thank you, I'll picked some up this morning.

She isn't lethergaric anymore. She is pacing, kind of in circles, walking over everything like food dish, water dish, and another chicken. She's the only chick showing the problem but I'll treat them all.
