Poorly Bantam Chick

[Wyorp Rock]

16 week old bantam chick suddenly became very ill - on Sunday i found her lying on her side, one of her legs was stiff

she has also lost a lot of weight and she is eatin and drinking like a bat out of hell but keeps producing extremely watery poo

Can she stand up now?
Leg is not stiff any more?
Photos of chick and poop?

Hard to know what's going on with her. Her age, lying down with one stiff leg, weight loss but eating/drinking...it could be Marek's.
I would get her eating chick starter. Eliminate the oats. A tablespoon of yogurt and a strawberry to entice her would be o.k.
Let us know if her crop is empty in the morning before she eats/drinks.

She is almost back to normal now, she eats her chick crumb and messes up her cage by flicking it everywhere, her poo has firmed up after the vets gave her some meds as i called and said i thought it was Coccidiosis - so i think she is on the mend

Glad to hear she's doing better!
