Some Background:
One of my chicks has been acting funny for over a week now. I saw some blood in some poo before so i treated with Sulmet for Cocci, I lost 1 pullet but the rest are still fine.. with the exception of this one. I can tell she's ate nothing because her crop is totally empty. she wont touch the cottage cheese i put in the brooder, or crumbles and i don't think she ate any of the boiled eggs i gave them this morning... that the others went crazy for. I moved her into the brooder with the younger chicks because they have a red heat bulb & i don't want her to be cold.
Current Symptoms:
She's a little "puffy" like she's cold
She has NO appetite
VERY skinny/light
Does anyone have ANY IDEA what could Possibly be wrong with this little girl?? I don't know how they would have gotten them in the brooder but the only other thing i can think of is worms?? She's about 5 weeks old right now & i just finished Cocci treatment and i was thinking of worming them, but i am worried about shocking her little system. I just don't know what to do for her & i don't want to lose her.
