Sick chicken (warning poop pics)

My 6 week old dominique just started showing very lathargic and odd behavior with watery poop. When I get into the brooder to add feed and change water she perks up and gets vocal but back in the brooder she looks bad

My computer is giving me fits this morning so I cannot see the pic's but your bird is at an age when coccidiosis is extremely common. I would start treating with Corid in their water asap. If she is brewing a nice case of cocci time is of the essence, it moves and kills very fast.

I started her first thing this morning.

Let me clarify, I started all of them on it. I have 2 that are 6 weeks old and 6 that are 2 weeks old. The 6 are quarantined from the 2 but they are getting Corid also.

The treatment dosage is 2 tsp liquid Corid (or 1.5 tsp powder Corid) per gallon of water--you can mix smaller portions or refrigerate unused, but put fresh out each day. After 5 days of treatment, give them vitamins and probiotics (or small amount of yogurt, buttermilk) for a week.
