Strange Poo UPDATE: Is This Cocci??? :(

Oh, she also made another poop while in her box. I didn't see it until it dried, though. It looked similar to the poop in the first post, but without the red. It dried to be yellow on the paper towel.

I've found by looking online that milk can treat cocci...true or not? Also found this:

Organic/Natural Milk Flush for Cocci Treatment
You can adjust the quantities accordingly..you can use certified organic products as well.

4lbs of dried milk
2lbs of corn meal
2lbs of oatmeal
1lb of bran

This should be fed for 3-5 days with no other feed except greens. Why this works?The large amount of milk makes the chicks thirsty causing them to drink. The milk sugar will turn acid in the stomach and the added water will flush out the system.

Excuse the random spaces in the link--if I tried to put it in as it should, it changed the beginning to BYC and it didn't work.

She made a second poop inside her box. It was also runny, yellow white color. No red in it, I'll take that to be good.

She is not eating or drinking, I tried to give her some milk and yogurt after I heard about milk being good for cocci. She ate some yogurt(they have had it before) and not much milk, I dipped her beak in it and she would shake her head, spraying it around. Then she pecked at the milk she shook onto my hand.

Another poo, still yellow. However, this one had two tiny "flecks" or orange/red in it. I dipped her beak in water again, she drank but not by herself. Still not eating.

Sorry your chick is not doing well. This is what I would do if it were my chick... I would mix up some sulmet, take some chick crumbles in a little bowl and wet the crumbles - not runny, but moist. Try to get the chick interested in eating some, move the food around with your finger or drop some in front of it. If the chick still won't eat by itself, I help it along by holding the chick and putting a little of the wet food in it's mouth - usually it will eat some of it and fling some of it. I did it a couple of times then came back an hour later and did it again. The chick was feeling stronger and started to eat and was fine.

Hoping your chickie does better!
