Sick chick

[dfrusht]

My chicks have been out in the coop for 2 weeks and this one doesn't seem to be doing well. She just stands there fluffed up and doesn't want to eat or drink. She had some goopy poo on her butt that I cleaned up. They eat medicated chick crumble. I gave her a few drops of nutridrench. What else can I do?

Have you seen any bloody poops? Coccidiosis is my thought.

Maybe? Not sure, but I did put some Corid water out for them after posting this and syringed some into her since she's not showing signs of wanting to eat or drink. She's looking like she will die in the nexr hour though...

Well now she's dead.

Well now she's dead.

Coccidiosis kills quick. How are the others doing? It can spread rapidly.

I'm sorry to hear she died.

I would continue with the Corid for the remaining chicks.
Dose for Liquid Corid is 2 tsp per gallon of water or Powdered Corid is 1 1/2 tsp per gallon of water. Give for 5-7 days as the only source of drinking water.
Don't add any electrolytes/vitamins to the water during the treatment period.

If you notice any other chicks fluffing up, acting lethargic, syringe the mixed water into them and keep them hydrated.

It's best to make your Corid water fresh daily, change out the water stations a few times a day if possible and keep them clean.

Yeah definitely continuing the corrid water. The rest all seem their normal selves this morning, no others acting lethargic or fluffy.
