Mother hen 119
Chirping
How do I bake down the corid for themDo you have photos of the chicks, their poop and where you are keeping them?
So you bought the hen along with her 4 week old chicks is that correct?
You've had them for one week?
What are you feeding the chicks?
At 4 weeks old, I would worry about them overheating - I would make sure they have plenty of space to get away from the heat lamp. They should not need much heat at all except maybe at night when the temperatures drop.
At that age, Coccidiosis is also a possibility, you don't report any symptoms, but that is something I would consider. Treatment is with Corid which can be found at most feed stores.
If you happen to lose another one, getting a necropsy/testing from your state vet would be a very good idea.
