Sick chick AGAIN

[LoveKadieGoose]

Hi there, I've had a sick chick that most people have been saying had coccidiosis. But she's fine now, but now I have another chick who's showing the same symptoms including being puffed up, lethargic, and a bit unresponsive to me picking her up and to remind you yesterday I had fed three of the Chicks including the previous sick chick four different types of flowers from my pasture I don't know if this has to do with it I will post a picture of the flowers that I gave them and if they are poisonous to chickens please tell me know and if you can let me know how to treat it. Thank you for responded goodbye.

With nothing else to go on I would suspect coccidiosis. I would get some Corid asap and start treatment, and I would treat all birds that are with this one. Corid is available at most feed stores, in the cattle or livestock section, may be in liquid or powder form, either will work. It's very safe, so even if that's not what it is, it will not hurt them. I will attach a graphic with the dosing info, use the severe outbreak dose, and another link to drench dosing. You can give the drench in addition to the water treatment to any birds that are very sick and not drinking well on their own. Start treatment as soon as possible, it can take them down very quickly. Best wishes.

Did you follow the advice from coach and treat all of the chicks with corid? If not, you need to treat them all and thoroughly clean the pen and replace the bedding.

How old are the chicks? I would never feed chicks flowers unless I knew for certain that they are safe to eat. Garden vegetables like kale and cabbage are safe. The chicks need to have small pebbles in their crops to digest plants properly, so if they do not have access to grit, you should not be feeding anything other than chick starter. Much of this depends on their age, but you are not providing enough information to get the help you seek.

Please post back on this thread. Do not start another one as it is very hard to keep track of what course of treatment has been tried. Good luck!
