Hello all! Im new to the site and to being a chicken owner. I first started with 20 chicks. 10 barred rock babies and 10 silver laced wyandotte babies. I ended up losing 5 after the first week, but thanks to this forum I have 15 happy healthy babies. I just moved them to our coop (an old milk house we converted) and they are doing great! They are about 3 weeks old and are getting their big feathers in. I can not wait until I am able to determine their sexes
I have a hunch on which one I think is a rooster. I do plan on free ranging but of course they have to get a bit bigger.

I have been treating them for coccidiosis with Corid but my one lil guy not doing well does not want to drink. Any pointers on how to nip this in the bud? I only see one other chick who may have it (wings droopy rather than tucked up normally) but again I am treating the whole flock.
