What illness could it be??? HELP!!!

[Angela338]

We have five week old chicks that have been thriving up until this evening. We have a White Laced Wyandotte, a Gold Laced Wyandotte, a Sapphire Gym, and a Spphire Olive Egger. I'm trying to get them used to being outside so I put them in the small run separated from the rooster and the hens that we have. I go to pick him up and bring them inside and the two sapphires are laying close together underneath the ladder. I felt these large squishy bubble like things underneath their beaks and they seem like they're really tired. The white Lace Wyandotte is not far from them, she's just a little bit more alert and moving around. The Gold Lace is still acting normal but I'm beginning to worry that he'll be next. I've attached pictures of The Sapphires, and their poo. I did mix up a solution of Nutri-Drench

hoping it will help, but I don't know what else to do.

I am trying to feed them mashed up strawberries and blueberries for energy also.

I've attached pictures of their excretion and faces.

Are their poops the top red blob? Stop the nutradrench and get some corid from a feed store

 

[Angela338]

Yes, the red blobs. I just bought online to pickup tomorrow Huvepharma Corid 9.6% Coccidiostat Oral Calf Solution, and throughout the reviews people are using it for their chickens. Will they make it during the next 16 hours?

I don't know, that's up to them. As long as they're still fairly active, they should

 

[nuthatched]

Nutridrench will make it worse, stop the dosed water and wait for the corid

 

[Debbie292d]

They most likely have coccidiosis. It's from them being exposed to the new "dirt" where other chickens were. We've had that happen too.

Get some Corid from TSC or a farm store as soon as you can. Make the Corid water their only source of water and stop the Nutri-Drench while they're on Corid.

So the older chickens should be fine? They're almost a year old.

Should I give them medicated feed also?
