Loosing chicks, need help

[Tashaf]

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.

They seem to drink plenty of water and I have the best results with that waterer.

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.

What I was told to mix was 2 tblsp of corid to a gallon of water.

That is the correct dosage but how many days did you offer this mixture.
Are they active and how does their poop look?

I am leaning more towards the draft and heat being a problem and not Cocci.

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.

Most of the brooder is all closed up besides the left side. I'll try and move them.

I was told to only do corid for two days. Some times I do two days and sometimes I do it for a few more.

Thank you for helping me! You def sound knowledgeable. I feel like I've tried everything!

I take that back...that little partridge looks like it may have Cocci.
Do this now.
Mix up one half teaspoon of Corrid with 2 teaspoons of Corrid and give that baby 4 drops of this solution straight to the beak twice a day, in addition to have the 2 teaspoons mixed with the gallon of water as their only water in the brooder.
You have to make sure you are mixing a new batch daily, and not just filling the waterer with the old mixed up batch of Corid water.
I still think you need to move the brooder.

You could be dealing with bad stock eggs/parents.
If you have been having the same issues for months with the same eggs purchased for the same person I would no longer purchase from them.

You wrote 1/2 tsp corid with 2 tsp corid. Is it supposed to be 1/2 corid with 2 water?
