So - my first ever hatch! I ended up with 12, 1 died & 1 is looking 'iffy'. I had a hard time keeping the temp & humidity steady. sooooo - went and bought a Brinsea Eco 20 with auto turner . Should be plenty big enough for what I need...

Congrats on ur hatch! Super cute! All look healthy & happy! I love my brinsea! Great choice!

Quote: Heres a Natural way to boost their immune systems
Fresh minced garlic, apple cider vinegar, and green tea all also help boost immune systems. Probiotics help with digestive tract health and boost good bacteria levels to help combat the bad bacteria.

-Oregano, green tea and cinnamon all help fight coccidiosis-
Despite your best preventive measures, if you do notice any symptoms, collect a fecal sample. Coccidiosis can be detected or confirmed by a quick test at your veterinarian office. If you do have a confirmed diagnosis, you will want to ramp up the natural methods described above and also might want to try Kocci-Free which is an all natural coccidiosis treatment. I keep Kocci-Free in my chicken first aid kit....just in case. I've never had to use it.​

Here are some easy ways to incorporate some natural coccidiosis preventives into your chicks' and grown hens' diet to help ward off the disease and prevent the coccidia from multiplying and getting the best of your chickens. Regularly adding cinnamon, oregano, garlic and green tea to their diet will boost their immune systems and help prevent coccidiosis:

• Brew some green tea, cool to room temperature and serve.
• Brew some oregano tea using fresh or dried oregano, cool to room temperature and serve.
• Chop fresh oregano and offer free-choice in your brooder. This helps chicks develop a taste for it. (add it to a favorite flock treat such as oatmeal or scrambled eggs if your older chickens aren't interested in eating it by itself).
• Stir some ground cinnamon, garlic powder, green tea and dried oregano to their daily feed.
• Add probiotic powder to their daily feed.
• Add a few drops of oregano oil to drinking water.
• Add a crushed garlic clove and a Tablespoon of apple cider vinegar to a gallon of water.
• Offer fresh minced garlic free-choice in a dish.

Kocci Free is a organic supplement

It sure won't hurt them to try. I ended up giving mine Kombucha in their water - the prebiotic of it seemed to help them recover. I make my own but the store bought would probably be fine too.

I ferment their feed, so they should be getting pre/probiotics already. The thing is, none of them look sick, all running around and eating ( except that they turned up their beaks at the burned rice I gave them today

)
Hopefully everything will be fine. Id hate to lose any.

did you get some medicated feed?  

The thing is, rancher, there are no feed stores close by me. At least two hours drive each way to the closest one, and with hubby out of the country, I'm minding the store, the kids, the house, the critters.... No time to go that far. I'd have to get it online too, like I did the corid, and it would take just as long to get here, if not longer.

Oh how adorable! !! What are they? I'm so excited. My first eggs are in a friends incubator as of night before last.

You evil chicken enabler's are making it impossible to stay with a small flock. My "hobby" now has 3 coops and growing.

Every time I think " ok that's enough for this year" someone shows me another beautiful breed.

Now y'all tempting me . Chicks and giant fuzzy sweet orpingtons that everyone should have.... I'll have to set them up on the roof

Your chicks are really pretty, boskelli. what did you use to hatch them?

I had wild boar stew when I was in Sienna. It was delicious. But it is a regional specialty, I would not know how to cook it!

Where's sienna? I would just dump it in a pot and cook like any other stew, but it will probably take more time to cook. My dad used to make a mean bush hog stew. Ofc you could break your teeth on all the buckshot pellets that end up in your mouthful of meat, but it was worth it. All that chewy skin.... Mm mm

Thanks gramma, I will try those things until I get the corid. I saw everyone eating and running around today. No fluffing, lethargy, weakness. Their combs are a pale pink, but they've been that way since forever, I guess bc they're still babies.

Your Welcome ...if there are no other symptoms ...it is probably just stomach lining lost ...it does look SCARY...
