On Friday I began noticing a few of our 2 wk old chicks being lethargic and having runny bloody poo. I separated the two that had those symptoms (I ended up separating a third chick the following day bc she began showing those symptoms also). I began corid on all the chicks we have and added a drench on the three sickest. Sadly, the three ended up dying (one Saturday morning, another Monday morning, and then another this morning) . We have six remaining in the original brooder and I think one of those chicks did have slight symptoms of bloody poo on Sunday but nothing since. They all thankfully eat, drink, and are happy!! I plan on continuing corid in their water for the remaining days to treat for a total of 7 days. I would like to start introducing the chicks to our other older girls out in the coop in the next few weeks. So my question is how long should I wait before I do that? I didn’t need to treat our older girls out in the coop bc they didn’t come into contact with the chicks in the brooder. Should I do a preventative treatment of corid in their water for our girls in the coop just in case when I introduce them? Or once symptoms are gone and 7 day treatment is done we are in the clear? Thanks!!
