Peachicks weight

They are very 'scruffy'. Do it put it in their water? Tractor Supply is literally across from our street. I'm heading there now.

You do put it in the water, but I think you might also want to give a little orally. I know that Tractor supply sell Corid, and you'll find that in the cattle section. Fear not, it's labeled for cattle, but *is* also used to treat poultry.

Not sure what sulfa drugs they have.

I don't want to scare you, but this person just went through something similar and lost all three of their chicks:

I really think a trip to the vet is a good idea, and the vet will be able to prescribe some oral sulfa in case the Corid doesn't work.

Corid Powder dose is 1.5 teaspoons per gallon for 5 days, then 1/3 teaspoon per gallon for 7-14 days. Are they drinking enough?

I believe they are drinking plenty. I've been way layed by customers. We own a nursery and landscape company located at our farm. Busy this AM going to try and head over there now. Do I keep putting the vitamin/electrolytes in the water as well?

No vitamins while giving Corid.

You should also look into getting some avian probiotics. Lots of people recommend this:

So the smallest passed over the night and one of the largest a few hours ago. I isolated them from the other two. The other two have 'good poop' still. They are gaining weight. Using Corid and poultry probiotics.

So sorry.

Lots of BYC pea owners lost peas this week, most ever in such a short period of time.
