Always gives great help! 

My baby d'uccle passed away last night. I feel horrible for that little baby.

I do have the poultry protector spray. Maybe i will spray the chickens, then when the chickens are out of the coup, i will put the dust around the coup.

Edited: I just did a quick cleaning of the two pens. The young chickies i swept out their pen. Sprayed poultry protector and then put alittle hay down. Now im keeping a close eye because i dont want any other babies to get sick.

Sorry for your loss.

I agree Fancychooklady you do give great advice and are very valuable to this site. I just want to say Thank You for taking the time and being here I think you should have one of those educator badges. Does anybody know how we can all go nominate her?

Only too glad to help my fellow chicken lovers. We all hit trouble sooner or later and this site is a great place to seek help.
Thank you for kind words.

Thank you, i had a baby silkie pass away last night too. I cleaned & sprayed the coup with the poultry protector but i dont know what to do. There is another d'uccle chick and her tail droops and stuff but she runs around, eats, and drinks.

Should i spray each of them?

Are you sure your not dealing with cocci and lice? Very sorry to hear.

I'd have to agree with suzierd, to lose 2 x birds in that time frame to lice would be most unlikely. Have you had a look at their poop? I would get them all on a course of corid ASAP. Some butter milk in the short term may buy you some time while you get the meds in.

When you treat for lice , you need to treat everyone and the premises.
