I have this Silver death-layer chick that was perfectly fine eating, drinking, and moving last night. Woke up this morning with slimy clear fluid in its mouth. No cough or sounds. No signs of anything in its throat, and crop seems empty. It is lethargic acting and wants to keep eyes closed. No sign of fluid around eyes or nasal cavities. Has been removed from rest of chicks.
Recently I found bloody poop in my brooder and was recommended to do a corid treatment just in case. Did the recommended dose and treated for 5 days. I have had 3 other chicks die so far since then (never saw any of them act like this they died overnight). It would kill me to lose this one or any more of my chicks. The brooder is also kept in the shed with the rest of my main adult flock. Any answers?? Recommendation?? Thank you!!
