90 is too hot...at 3 weeks old it should we closer to 80.
You must used Corid for 5 to 7 days straight in order to knock out the Cocci.
And you must use it at the correct dosage.
Medicated feed is worthless.....it will not cure Cocci. It can help prevent it but if you get an outbreak of it it won't cure it.

I did use bleach water and rinsed good and dried the waterer before this batch. Yes I use corid. Are you talking about give corid to the mouth straight? Not diluted in water?

is it the liquid ? Yes I am wont hurt. a couple drops 2xs a day

How much Corid did you use?
Do you have the powder of the liquid Corid?

And yes you can mix up a small batch of Corid and dose them straight to the beak..in addition to the water mixture.

Do you think maybe they are not getting enough sunlight? The central air is right next to the brooder and it sucks air right past the brooder.

Thy don't need sunlight right now...although it is great for them.
If there are in a draft you need to move them immediately..the draft alone can kill.

Thanks Kiki.
Good luck w/ your birds hun. Your in good hands now.

How much water are they drinking each day?
I wonder if too if that is a good enough waterer for them. I've personally not ever seen one used like that for chickens before.

When I turn down the heat they huddle up and don't move as if they are cold.

Because they are in the draft of your AC.
