Sick 5 week old chicks

[springhopecoops]

I have 15 chicks- 5 weeks old from the hatchery. Last Tuesday I noticed bloody poo, so I started Corid. Sunday I lost one chick and two others now don’t appear well. What else can I do so I won’t lose more? They have plenty of room. I keep the brooder clean and have put them on medicated food.

I'm not experienced with Coccidiosis, but how are they doing now?

I've heard a bit about natural coccidia treatment, mabey do these things in addition to what your already doing, give oregano, apple cider vinegar, and DE on the food. (ACV in water)

I have lost one more and the other that didn’t look well is still touch and go.

Have you given them drops of corid orally along with in the water?

yes

They should be much better by now. Its over a week of treatment.

Any other symptoms? Sneezing, coughing, eyes good?

 

[springhopecoops]

I thought they should be better too. No other symptoms. The one that is struggling lacks energy. I have tried molasses water and some egg yolk but she just does not have energy.

Do you still have them on heat?
Do their poops look normal now?
Are they eating anything else besides chick food? If so, they need some sort of grit.
