Ok need help figuring out what wrong and what to do ... warning photos

what type of Antibiotic should I get?
Seems like I should have something on hand just in case for the future.

I'd rather treat her with it and corid one more time if it works good if not I will have to cull

So hope thats not the case I'm afraid if I have to cull her ... would I have to cull the two that are with her and have been since I got her? just would be so stupid to get the older ones sick as well! or the 3 in the other brooder.

I will never get chicks again if the environment they are in does not look good and healthy. What a huge mistake that was and her I felt a little like I was rescuing them. then I made the newbie mistake of putting the 2 new chicks in with my other 2 chicks. Stupid mistakes, guess thats how we learn some stuff.

You can try another round of Corid (coccidiosis) and some Tylan 50 (enteritis from clostridium perfringens), but if it also has something like E. coli you'll need something else. What drugs does your local feed store carry?

If it is hot they may be drinking too much water here is a poop chart i find helpful when I see something hinky.

make sure they have shade a place to cool off plenty of water with electrolytes and if it is hot stop the ACV for now you can pick up a pro biotic to add to the water at the feed store.


Good luck

Good article on chicken poo. Helpful for all of us whether we are having problems or not. Thank you for posting it.

Wishing you all the best that you find something to help your chicks soon and they get better quickly. Yes sometimes it takes our mistakes to learn as we go but this group is the best when it comes to getting great advice and help.
