Sick 5 week old chicks

[StelleKitten]

What sort of bedding do you have? Do their crops feel full? Are all the chicks bodies similar temperatures? Do you have healthy chicks to compare to?

@ShadowsFIAL ~ How are your chickens doing?

 

[ShadowsFIAL]

Still no good. The other chicks are fine, bouncing around and playing. I separated the three from the rest.

I have hay as bedding, their crops do not feel full at all, not sure about temp

They won't show immediate results from the corid. Just try to keep them hydrated and eating some.

Are the ones that are sick a different breed from the ones that are doing well? If they are it could be something that the other breed(s) have a natural resistance to.

One Chick died, the older Easter egger. The two turkens are still struggling along. None of the others are sick and they were moved outside today. Very happy to have more room to run around. The two turkens inside are no better. Not much worse... The little black one will not eat any more, but is drinking.

You can soak some crumble or bread or or get baby parrot food from petco and add some of the water I told you to make and use a syringe and drip in their mouth they have to get food or starve.:/

I made a very thick gruel with the crumbles, rooster booster, and honey. I don't have any of the other things and no money to get them at the moment. I will have to get a syringe at work tomorrow that works for this food, but on the up side they both seem to want to eat it! They are both picking at it slowly.

Are you still giving them the vitamins?

 

[ShadowsFIAL]

Yes
