Sick silky

[Clodill4rel]

I found my silky lethargic today it’s only 5months old and I think it might have coccidiosis now….. here is a picture of its poop. It has had a pasty butt for two weeks I keep having to clean off it is with 7 others that seem totally fine cooped separately from my other flock. I dosed it on a few drops of poultry cell this morning it’s not eating or drinking now only pecked food a few times. Tried giving it eggs but it’s not able to eat or drink I don’t think anymore. Can I mix a gallon of beer f water with 1.5tsp of corid and give it directly in the mouth even tho I gave the vitamins this morning ???? Uhg I dono what to do. It’s a beautiful NN blue cream silky !

I do not know what this means other than you're asking if you can treat with Corid if you already gave vitamins. I'd go ahead with it since she's so sick, but don't count today's dose as one. In other words, five days and start counting tomorrow.

The poop isn't too unusual to me but the lethargy and not eating does fit with coccidiosis.

Powdered Corid is 1.5 teaspoon per gallon of water. Liquid is 2 teaspoons per gallon of water. Remove access to any other water and discontinue giving vitamins while treating her.

I would treat your other chickens too just in case. Was she new to a pen or has it rained recently there so wet conditions where she travels?
