So very, very sorry. You have got to be pretty sad after caring about & for the little one.

I hope you will find comfort knowing you tried, & that the chick has gone to a place that is good.
The photo of Nelly is so sweet--he/she looks like a little angel.

Sorry Nelly passed away.

thank you , she was really sweet bless her

So sad

but do keep an eye on the others - if it was cocci, they probably all have it, and you might want to treat the others as was suggested in an earlier post. best of luck!

Hi, just want to make sure you know that the medicated food will not treat cocci - it only prevents it if they do not have it. There isn't enough amprolium in it. The best thing to buy is Corid, and do a 5 course treatment.

I haven't heard of pasty butt having a strong correlation with coccidiosis, though maybe it does. I know newborn chicks do commonly die just from their poop getting backed up when their vents are clogged. I'm not sure what generally causes the pasty stickiness, but I haven't heard mention of cocci as a potential culprit.
