Well I guess it is worse than I thought. Cocci guidance needed ASAP

Okay they’re all drinking the medicated water which I think I have dosed fairly accurately. I also gave them a mash of their crumbles a bit of water and 1/2 teaspoon or less of powder. They ate the half of the mash we offered. I’m hoping to get ahead of this without over medicating them and killing them that way . I know someone above said not possible so I am glad To hear that.

Correct dose for the water is 1.5 tsp of the powder to one gallon of water. Do that for 5 - 7 days. If they are slow to recover, or you are still seeing any symptoms after that period then you can do another 5-7 days with 1/3 tsp per gallon of water.
**EDITED** to correct my typo, 1.5 tsp of powder is correct.

Do I gently push their beaks open and hope they don’t aspirate?

If you don't know what your doing don't try this.
One drop down the wrong pipe will kill them.

One and a half teaspoons.
Not 1/5 of one.

My chicks had this and I put them on a medicated feed, and put probiotics and electrolytes in their water. The vet gave me Corid that I gave them with a syringe in the evening for 5 days. All is good and they fully recovered!

This is correct! I was in a hurry and hit the wrong key! It was correct in the attached chart and I have edited my post to reflect the correct amount. Sorry for any confusion caused and thanks to all who saw the mistake! Telling self "do not hurry!!!"

I know. I have medicated parrots many times. But never chickens. However I don’t want to risk it. I won’t try it since they’re eating thankfully so no need.

That chart is correct, use the severe outbreak dosing and you are fine. I ALWAYS use the severe outbreak dosing.
And the link for the oral drench dosing that I gave in post #15 is also accurate.
Apologies if any confusion was caused.
