It can if they are young enough. You can always treat for coccidiosis. Even if they don't have it, the treatment won't hurt them. Here, most people use Corid. It's just a brand name for amprolium. Most use the liquid (pictured below) and put it in their water.You mentioned coccidiosis as a possibility. I don't know much about it but can it strike a chicken down in one day?
Thanks I got both the medicine for coccidiosis as well as a dewormer. I can't give the two together. I gave the dewormer yesterday afternoon. As usual their droppings are purely liquid water but this time with lots of milky white stuff. One chicken seems a bit active but is making a hiccup kind of sound every few seconds.It can if they are young enough. You can always treat for coccidiosis.

The droppings might be them discarding the worms. But the hiccup noises... Could it be gapeworm? What kind of worm medicine are you using?Thanks I got both the medicine for coccidiosis as well as a dewormer. I can't give the two together. I gave the dewormer yesterday afternoon. As usual their droppings are purely liquid water but this time with lots of milky white stuff. One chicken seems a bit active but is making a hiccup kind of sound every few seconds.
Any indications from their droppings and the sound?
Hi. 10-week old indigenous chicks were fine and active. Then suddenly they became lethargic. Their droppings would continuously be purely water, with maybe a little mucous sometimes. Sometimes they would spit out a few drops of water. They would stay put with eyes closed during the day, drinking a lot but barely eating. One of them could barely walk and it was cold to the touch. However, at sunset it felt warm. The very next morning a number of them were dead. Perhaps they died during the night. What could be the reason?
They are 10 weeks old and it's quite hot so they don't need a heat lamp.
Of the remaining ones, their voices seem weaker than usual. They have bouts where they run about and look fine and then periods where they are too weak to even stand, let alone walk - pale, puffed up with eyes firmly closed. Really puzzling. There is kind of a wheezing sound when some breathe. One who yesterday was very sick looks better.
Can you please post some photos of the chicks and their poop?Thanks I got both the medicine for coccidiosis as well as a dewormer. I can't give the two together.
