Sick chick!

[Jennifer I]

Hi, folks!
I just joined the community, and I'm happy to be here!
I think I have a sick chick on my hands. My almost-nine week old Buff Orpington started isolating herself today from the rest of the flock. She didn't seem to want to do much more than sleep in the bushes while the rest foraged and pecked. By the end of the day, she had curled up on the porch of the coop, and she let me pick her up, (which she usually fights me on), and I petted her while she fell asleep on my lap. It was like she could barely keep her eyes open. She wouldn't eat any meal worms (her fav), but she would drink water from a tablespoon. When I put her in the coop, she kind of hid herself any between a bale of hay and the wall, while the others piled up in the corner (haven't quite figured out how to get them to roost yet). She also had a diarrhea poop that was green and white. Her eyes are clear, and she has no laboured breathing. Not sure what to do, but I'm worried about my girl. I'd appreciate any advice about what might be happening with her and what I should do. Thanks.
Sorry about the long post.

Welcome To BYC

Have you treated for Coccidiosis?
Liquid Corid dose is 2tsp or Powdered Corid Dose is 1 1/2tsp per gallon of water given for 5-7 days as the only source of drinking water.
Do not add any extra vitamins/electrolytes that contain B1(Thiamine) to food or water during the course of treatment.

I treated them all with Corid for 7 days when they were five-weeks old. Do you think I should treat again?

Sorry to hear about your sick chick and sorry not many others have comments for assistance. I am in a similar situation. I have a smaller flock of 4, and one ended up getting really sick with similar symptoms. Overnight and all of a sudden she became extremely lethargic and wouldn’t move, eat or drive on her own. She looked horrible and on verge of death. I isolated her, put her beak in fresh water and forced her to drink, and for food i put hard-boiled egg yolk in my hand and fed it to her. About 4 of this and she eventually came back to life and is back to normal. However, now 1 week later, she is completely fine but two other chicks in the flock are now experiencing the same type of sickness. I’m starting the same routine of taking care of them but i’m still extremely worried about them and if they’ll pull through. Do you have any updates on your chick?
