Ok. What dosage should I look for? I'm gonna go for liquid as we have unused syringes for measuring this sort of thing

I use the Corid liquid 9.6%, and I give 9.5 ml per gallon of water as the sole drinking water for 5 days. If she isn't drinking you may have to dribble alongside the beak with a syringe, the medicated water. Sometimes they stop eating and drinking from the gut pain. Don't pour it down her throat or she may aspirate.

I mix a new solution daily and treat all who have been exposed to the poo of the sick one.

This has saved many of my chickens.
 
Ty. She is. I held her for a bit today. She only peeped when I made a sudden movement or stood up. The others just look at me like I'm crazy for touching them. I never thought I would get attached to our chickens... who knew
 
It is crazy how attached you can get. I never thought chickens could have the personalities that they do.
I've started playing Enya when I'm sitting with my chicks. They all get quiet and lay down. All are usually asleep within 5 mins of starting the music. Pretty fascinating to watch.
Glad she's doing better!

What is the dosage with the powder? They only have powder

There should be a dosage on the pack. What strength of medication is shown, and does it give any dosages (even if it is for other animals, not for chickens). Often they will give a dosage per kg live weight or per gallon of water.

Tell us what it shows on the pack, and we can help you work it out!
