The lighting isn't great in those pics, but when I enlarge some of them I can see blue/green coloring on the backs of both their necks. They are for sure Black Shouldered males. They could also have some pied genes that are not readily apparent, sometimes it can be hard to spot the pied influence on a bird that has a lot of white/cream coloring as a juvenile.

Thank you, Kathy. Minxfox had posted them for a couple pages back. It was kind of neat going back to see some of deer mans posts tho, even though I didn't do it on purpose.

Corid, Sulfas and Baycox can be used to treat coccidia. Worms are treated with wormers like Safeguard and Valbazen.

As Kathy says... and look at the links below her name to get info on treatment, meds and dosing, as well at the thread about Safeguard for worming. There's lots of threads here that have info.

First step is to get them to your place, segregated from your other birds, and get fecal samples to vet if you have the ability and a cooperating vet. Pretty much any vet can run fecals. In any event, you will want to worm them and probably treat for coccidia ... I think @DylansMom wrote a nice post the other day about what she does with her new birds as she brings them home and quarantines them, so maybe you can get her to do a reprise.

If there are signs of any significant level of illness, then you will want to further segregate the sick birds (probably take them into your house or keep them somewhere warm and away from the non-sick birds), and see if you can figure out what's wrong. Posting photos of the birds and their poo usually gets a response. The vet is best, if you have a bird vet and the resources to go there, but not everyone is able to do that.

Birdman,
You need to have a coccidiastat med ON Hand!!!!! Sometime the stress of moving birds to a new place will cause their immune system to be overwhelmed. They go down so quick in that case that you can't wait to go out and find meds.

I personally use oregano oil, all the others here use the ones Kathy mentioned but it would really help if you came prepared when you get them home.

I shall get some tomorrow from the feed store
