My 10 week old Swedish Flower hen was looking a bit “droopy” 2 days ago, but later appeared normal.. maybe quieter than her norm. Last night, when putting everyone in the coop she was lethargic and laying down. She would drink but not eating and her crop felt soft. We brought her inside and gave her a mix of probiotics and chick save vitamins, it’s been so hot!! This morning she drank water and was put back out with our flock of 8. When I checked on her an hour later she was standing next to the water, head and wings down. I scooped her up and brought her inside. She would drink lots of water but refused any goodie I tried to give her.. even egg. I gave her a good dose of Corrid, put some Vet Rx on her and have alternated fresh water with ACV water. She has slept all day inside the house except when I now have to wake her and force her to drink. No eating. She had a few small episodes of watery green poo that had what looked like tiny bits of greenery in it, and most recently a loose green stool with a bit of normal looking poo in it. I saw a TINY bit of blood in one of the poops, but nothing like what my cocci hen had before she passed several months ago. Her only abnormal symptoms are what I have listed.
Help!!

one of my chicks had symptoms a little like these, she would just lay down andmake a kind of quiet panting noice, the others would then come and give her a gentle peack to try get her moveing, she would squak and they would leave her alone, it was almost like shes laying an egg but se was much to young (about 6 weeks) i brought her inside and put her in a cold room as she was much too hot, i wied her down every 30ish mins with a wet cloth, i got up in the night at 2ish and did this again gave her more water and forced her to drink it, by morning she was fine but still weak i redused the tempriture in the room to normal and cheaked on her every hour, or so. at 3ish i put her back in the brooder she was fine, playing with the others, every hour i forced her to drink but soon she was drinking on her own and soon eating as well, i hope this helps
plz help me
 
She is at the right age for coccidiosis. Glad that you have started Corid, but it needs to be the only source of water. Dosage is 2 tsp per gallon of water for 7 days, and I would also give her undiluted Corid 0.1 ml per pound twice a day in addition to the Corid water. Then give Corid at 1/3 of the original dosage for another 5-7 days. If she won’t drink normally, then give her some with a dropper. Good luck.
