I brought home 10 chicks on Saturday. They hatched the Wednesday before. They were vaccinated for meraks and coccidiosis. They are on Poultry grain chick starter.
On Monday I noticed one EE chick standing with eyes closed. I started probiotics and electrolytes in a separate dish and hand fed her some. The next day she started dragging a leg. Sadly she passed Wednesday morning. NOW I HAVE ANOTHER STARTING! I did buy nutri drench (too late for the first chick) gave this chick a drop and made a batch 1qt water 1/2 teaspoon drench. Should I also offer fresh water or only drench water? Right now she is just standing sleeping I did see her eat some . I’m not sure what to do?
Is it failure to thrive? Is it coccidiosis? Attached pictures. This chick is a light Brahma.
