Please Help! Sick Chick!I think its coccidosis. what do i do.

[DinosRBirds]

I don't know what to do. My chick is sick. He/she won't eat. I think it has coccidosis.
I saw something somewhere that says you should put it in a separate place and if it won't eat to put a bunch of medicated feed in its water and get it to drink that. Will this work? I need to know how to cure him, he's my favorite. He isn't very heavy either. He doesn't even weigh half as much as the others. please help me.He don't move. He's about 4 weeks old please help me.

Have you been feeding it medicated chick starter all along?
Besides not eating and drinking, what other symptoms does it have?
Have you isolated it from the other chicks?

Last time I isolated a chick, it died. I don't wanna do it.Yup the whole time it was eating medicated. I just pulled a big strip of mucous from its beak .

Cocci are in the soil. If they have been in a brooder they probably haven't been exposed.

Here is a link to common reasons that young chicks die; perhaps there is something in there that will help you:
