Sick chicks! Help!

[HfgChicken]

Two days ago one of my 10 week old chicks was ver groggy the next day he died. Now one of the other chicks(also boy) is groggy. I don’t know what to give them. They have Vitamins and electrolytes in their water. There was one piece of red poop in their coop -not sure who it was from.The red one is the sick one.

They could have worms. Try Corrid in their water without the stuff you are putting in now. I would do in quickly and after it is mixed take a syringe and dribble a good amount on their beaks. So they drink it. No to much at a time. You don’t want him to choke. Hope this helps!

Thanks, I’ll give the sick chick Corid tonight and put it in the water tomorrow.

You mix the corrid in the water.
It gives the dose to an amount of water. Should say on the bottle how much to use for chickens

Welvin is still alive, when i picked him up water spilled out of his mouth. his gizzard has been squishy and full scince yesterday i think. two of the baby silkies are now acting a bit groggy

the Corid only has directions for calves and that's 8OZ for 100 gal of water. I have a quart and a gallon waterier in their coop.

 

[HfgChicken]

how much do I put in their water and since they are chicks do I put a smaller amount of corid in their water?

 

[The Phantom]

That is 8 ounces per a hundred gallons right? Is that the dose for chickens?

I read on a BYC post
if it is 9.6% oral solution corid you will mix 9.5ml corid to a gallon of water. That was for laying hens. Since your birds are young maybe do 8.5ml of corid to a gallon of water. I hope the do better.

Mix it fresh each day and do it for 5 days.
