This is our first time raising chicks. We ordered the six of them from a reputable hatchery. They are almost a month old and had been doing great, until two days ago. I noticed that my little Golden Laced Wyandotte, Dinah, was acting sluggish. She is usually the one who is always digging and foraging for food in their pen (they’re still in the brooder in the garage). The next day she wasnt moving much and just sitting in the corner, ruffled feathers. She has been smaller than the rest (a mixed flock) for about a week... and I also noticed that her comb isn’t coming in like the others.
Her poops look normal, to me... but bc of the other symptoms, I suspected coccidiosis. Yesterday we separated her to another brooder and began treatment with Corid (were also treating the other birds, just in case). Well yesterday she was still walking around, digging occasionally, and would accept some hard boiled egg yolk. She was also drinking a LOT of water (a suspicious about of water)... Well today she won’t get up from her spot, hardly opens her eyes, and seems even more listless
I’m at a loss at what to do!! Any suggestions would be much appreciated, we’d very much like to save her.
