[squirrelsgirl36]

I noticed today that one of our little hens was very lethargic. Not moving well not eatin or drinking. No big crop, no pasty butt, i have no clue what is going on. I am new tochicks and really could use any help.

Look up info on Coccidiosis. Some symptoms are runny/watery poop(may or may not contain blood)fluffed feathers,lethargic. If symptoms match,purchase Corid(amprolium). Dosage for Corid powder is 1/2 tsp per gallon of water. Dosage for Corid liquid is 2 tsp per gallon of water. Treat all chicks for 5 days,do not give vitamins during treatment(interferes with medication)give vitamins after treatment.

I hope it makes it through the night till i can get to a feed store to get some. She is not looking good at the present moment. She is in the house with us and is like she is barely breathing she is not doing good at all.

Check forum for alternate things to use,in the event you are unable to get medication right away. I'm sorry that i do not know all ingredients,but they are listed on forums.

Give some buttermilk or if you have none, milk.

I have fat free milk and cottage cheese. Either of those work? I also heard sugar water but i dont know how much to give. I seen how much to mix but not how much to give with like a dropper.
