Sick flock, two dead

No, it won't mix in the water it will settle out. You have to give it to each bird orally based on their weight. The only water soluble one is Safeguard AquaSol, and it's really expensive.
Use the dosing that @Wyorp Rock gave in her post, .23ml per pound of body weight, 5 days in a row.

The SafeGuard settles out in water since it it a suspension, so best given orally to each bird as posted by others. Shake well between drawing up each dose with a syringe.

Can I add the Safeguard into their water? The same water that has Corid in it? I read somewhere that it's 3ccs per gallon?
I have the Safeguard liquid dewormer for goats, Suspension 10%

No. As mentioned, it will settle out of the water. Dosing is by weight.

Safeguard dose is 0.23ml per pound of weight given orally once a day for 5 days in a row.

Thanks all. I'm treating them and still waiting on necropsy results. Scared to go home and possibly find another dead.

How long do necropsy results typically take?

Each lab is different. You can call them and ask what their timeline is.

Hi. Today my girls will finish their first five days of Corid. The link from this website mentions continuing treatment for another 7-10 days with a lesser dosage of Corid. Is this what is usually recommended?

When I went to open the coop this morning, one of my girls had yellow gooey stuff on her chest. I also found a bit of it on the coop floor.
At first I thought maybe there was a broken egg but I found no shell and they never lay during the night. Plus, I don't see how she would have gotten it on her chest.
What might this be? Should I be worried? Pics below.
It has no smell.

Looks like egg.

What link? Some do give Corid for another 7-10 days at a lesser dose, you can if you wish.
I don't.
