Coccidia protoza needs B1 (thiamine) to thrive. Corid blocks thiamine (B1). Electrolytes add B1, which you don't want when trying to battle coccidia

Now that is what I call an answer with some scientific and factual basis. Thank you so much Healther! You are my kind of walking textbook! Awesome! I will keep all of this stored in my brain for sure!! Thank you! Thank you!

Crop issues happen when there is some sort of blockage that is not causing the crop to empty properly. Feel their crops, what do they feel like? Are they full? What time of day is it? Crops should be full at night and empty in the morning. Does their breath smell sour? What does their poop look like? Is it normal or mostly water?

She said they have been dying with diarrhea all around them....

You're welcome! I wouldn't know this if it wasn't for @Wyorp Rock and @azygous . They've been so incredibly helpful and literal life savers for me and so many others. I can't rave about them enough. I'm pulling for the birds in this thread to get well, and thrive. <3

Is there any possibility that your birds may have ingested poison of any sort ?

Did you possibly put out any ant killer anywhere? That they could have gotten into? Are their layer feed in the heat by any chance?

Yes me too! Melody has helped me get my feeding system set up so well in my run way better than what I had going and was a life saver. She is a true friend and has answered a gazillion questions for me. I can’t rave about her and aart also as well as azygous.

Agreed! Some amazing folks here, no doubt. My life is better because of the members on this site (too many to list!)

Thank you. I bought them a different kind of crumble from the store this last time. It was very expensive Organic food, marked down because it was close to the date, so I guess that's possible. But it doesn't smell bad I don't think... how do you know if crumble is bad?? Thanks for the help!

Although I've not experienced this yet (knock on wood) I've been told that feed that's went bad will have a noticeable odor. Does it smell the same as usual?
Now I remember that this is a "new feed" to you. So you can't compare the smell to a previous bag. My apologies

@Wyorp Rock is on now so she'll be over to help soon.

Two more of the white Leghorns started acting ill... one vomiting up water every time she’d drink. I separated them from the rest. Both lethargic. Was hoping Corid and electrolytes were helping... seemed to be. And tonight... another one dead! Diahrea... around. If Corid isn’t helping, what else can I do!? What would strike and kill SO fast!? I mean, if they were gonna die so quickly, shouldn’t I have been seeing large amounts of blood and really sick chickens for a couple days? This seems to have come on fast!

The ONLY outward symptom... vomiting water back up... diahrea. What else would cause this? What can I go get tomorrow at Tractor Supply?

I'm sorry that you have lost another one.
Can you please post some photos of the poop, birds and housing?

As in your other thread, you mention spitting up water. Check their crop to see if it's emptying overnight.
Do you provide grit (crushed granite)?
The feed...I would go get a bag of fresh feed, take out the other. Even if you have to buy chick starter, buy the freshest mill date you can find.

Where are you located in the world?

I agree, losing them quickly...think if they may have gotten into anything toxic.
