Month old chick won’t eat & drink, has yellow watery poo

[Sparko]

He was fine a couple of days ago and I just noticed a change in his behavior yesterday. He’s not moving much and doesn’t eat - earlier he ate some mealworms from my hand but now he refuses to eat even that.

I have water with garlic for him and tried making him drink it, I probably managed to let him drink a couple of drops (I don’t have a dropper, I put a lid under his beak)

Treat for coccidiosis. Have you ever been able to get amprollium, sulfadimethoxine or sulfamethazine, or toltrazuril for any of your chickens yet? Those are the drugs used to treat coccidiosis in many countries. You have been posting for awhile about weak or sick chickens. Make sure that all bedding is clean and dry, and the feeders and waterers are at shoulder height to help prevent pooping in them.

Okay I will tomorrow, should I do it for his whole group? And yeah I was able to treat my silkies, I have an open packet of Axylin (Amprolium + Sulfaquinoxaline) - can I still use that?

I'll elevate the feeder & find alternative bedding for them since I can't buy any right now, thanks!

Yes, I would use the open packet to treat the chick, but follow the label instructions.

Kk, btw a question - is it possible for coccidiosis to go away on its own? He was a lot more energetic this morning and no signs of cocci aside from droppings with blood & yellow liquid - and I’m not sure which chick it came from.
