I have been treating a large bunch of chicks for the past week. we split them in two groups for easier treatment. I kept 21 here and sent 20 to mom's place. there was some blood but i was unsure what the 'full' cause was so i treated with Sulmet & Durramycin.
They're all acting better but there's a few in my group that are still having trouble holding body temp. they can't be outside for long before i have to put them back in and their legs are icy.
Mom's group looked good with the exception of one(her Sultan). I brought him home and have him singled out in the house because he was so poorly. He's doing better now with some durramycin & fermented feed... he's badly crossbeaked so it's hard to say if he was just having trouble eating or if it was the illness affecting him.
I am most concerned with the one sin my group, not holding body temps. I am wondering if i should go ahead with a second round of durramycin OR should i treat individually with tylan or something else?
ETA: chicks are all about 3 months old and have been eating all flock feed and free range.
