We just got two baby chicks, they were vaccinated against Marek's disease. Started them on non-medicated feed. Day 8 today, one is doing well. The other one was well till two days ago, now she is less active, drooping wings, keeps chirping, does not gain weight. She does eat and poop, although only pecks on the small pieces of feed, and spits out bigger pellets. The poop looks normal.
Could it be coccidiosis? Should we switch to medicated feed? Or give Corid? How much Corid to give them? Anything else we can try?
They are in a brooder under heat lamp, about 90 degrees but they can move the cooler side if needed. She is under the heater. She keeps chirping and tries to squeeze under her friend's belly.
Thanks for your advice
