2 days ago, I lost my faovrite EE chick to cocci. The others were not very far behind. I feared all was lost until I got some wonderful advice on here and from a dear friend who also rasies chicks. After a quick trip to the feed store for Wazine and Sulmet, I started them on medicated feed and the water mixture. They have all perked right up!! The one I feared was soon to follow the other is running around the brooder and having much better looking poops! I have become obsessed with their poops, it's sad really.
They are off of pine shavings and on paper towels instead.
We aren't out of the woods just yet but I am holding out hope that they will all come around.
And because my older chicks are only 6 weeks old, I am doing a 2 day treatment of their water too as a precaution. They have never presented any symptoms and I am careful about washing my hands before and after handling each flock but I still worry it might spread.
It's hard to look down and only see 4 beautiful little babies instead of 5....
