well foo..a couple of weeks ago i had three of young birds tucking there heads in so i put them in my sick cage and gave them corid one of them could barely hold it head up when i was caring it. it and one other died the other one seemed to improve then 3 days ago i notice another young bird acting funny so i put it in the sick cage with the recovering bird and and more corid to the water it seems better but the recovering one is now barley able to stand and cant hold up it head so did i poison it with the corid or is something else going on? I didn't think i would hurt her or i would have keep them separated. This one and one that died i hatched and an egg exploded in the incubator with it could that be part of the problem? The other one that died though was an EE that i bought a POOPS so idk.

Why did you use Corid? If it's coccidia Corid isn't strong enough and if it's something else Corid won't help anyway. Did they have diarrhea or blood in their stools? @Kassaundra Yes, I love sand for brooders. This one is so dang tiny though and I don't know if I could keep sand warm enough. I've got a heating pad under a blanket in his little tub and he seems to like it right at about 100 degrees. Seems a little warm to me but at 1/2 an ounce I figure he's the boss & he knows what he likes. I've got him to drink his liquid food out of a 2" pill cup. He's quite demanding, I suppose he gets that from his daddy

For the Piggies I'm thinking "Market", "Home" and "WeeWee" lol That's the toe game everyone played with their kids.

Oops. Forgot MiniB's picture of his little tiny brooder. He loves his feather duster, it's hilarious. Snuggles up into the middle of it and sleeps.

I read that if the were holding there head close to there body and acting depressed it was coccidia and if you see blood in there stool it is to late for them. i did see one stool that look bloody weeks before they stated acting odd but i didn't know if it was intestinal ling or blood they were in a large group so don't know if they had diarrhea and corid is all i have for coccidia.

@Ksane that is the cutest and tiniest think ever! I also meant to tell you thanks for the advice about the poo. I do think it's the gland nasty kind.

I thought I had responded earlier, but I don't see it, so I'll try again.

@ashtree, Ally was just fine. We had just gotten there. Funny, I got a repeat of your texts today! It may have been my phone messing up! I love the names you gave the girls.

@kelielliott came by today and picked up some hatching eggs. We talked a lot of chicken talk, and she helped me open and unwrap my box of 12 silkie eggs that arrived in the mail. I love meeting people from here in person. It's always enjoyable and helps me keep track of people on here!

My silkie eggs arrived intact and in great number and variety-a dozen eggs in 8 colors! Blue, Splash, White, Red, Porcelain, Partridge, Buff, and Gray...YAY! I maneuvered them all into my Brinsea mini, upright in cardboard. I'll start them off that way and then lay them down tomorrow for turning. FYI-eBay user "divertracy" was awesome to buy from--great communication, speedy delivery, well-packed eggs. No complaints!

I do feel like I'm pressing my luck with the boy/girl ratio I've enjoyed lately. Out of the last 11 living eggs/chicks, only 2 boys. Oh well. I'm pressing it.

Uh-Oh; Here we go. My son went to get some egg layer replacements, and the lady had Silky's. My grand daughters 13, and 11 are with him. He's bringing back 3 baby Silkys too. Looks like they're hooked.
