We just went through the cocciidiosis in our brooder. We clean them every day but the chick nipple was leaking regularly so I thought maybe that's how they got it. It sure is a pain but glad it's gone now. The corid cleared it right up..

We just started corid and good news is we caught it early so all chicks look good

That is a very small brooder for 24...
And they look like they are feathered in enough to go out to a coop. Also, food and water should not be at the same end as the heat source.

This is Blue. We got her from McMurray in a order of Black Stars. Whelp, not sure what happened. We thought Blue was a roo since male sex links are barred, but Blue doesn't show any rooster behaviors. No crowing, no mounting, no tidbitting, she even gets mounted by other roosters on occasion (not often though). I have yet to catch her laying an egg either, and she's just over a year old. So I am rather confused. She is very large; same size as our Orp and GL Wyandotte roos. But like I said, no crowing or anything roo-like. :/

It does look a little small. I know it's rough to find so many an area while waiting for them to be ready to head outside. Depending on your weather they may be ready to go outside. We are in the upper 90's to 100 right now so all mine are out with no supplemental heat by 4 weeks. They were so happy to get out to the coop though lol.

Not quite finished with the coop we need to get more hardware cloth have to wait till Friday and they had another chunk of space but kept flooding it so this will have to do for a couple days I've moved the food and water further away
