Thank you! I appreciate this community so much. I’ve really been blessed by everyone’s consistent knowledge and willingness to share it. I’m keeping a close eye on the one I worry for. After day 5 I’ll pump them up with those b vitamins. Any idea on the dosage? I know you mentioned a few tabs per glkon of water but what’s the Mg. For the b vitas? I’ll grab that todayWhat is your feed? Is it a scratch and peck type or a balanced layer pellet? With the sitting down eating pictures, it seems like it could be a riboflavin (vitamin B2) deficiency. I am a big fan of human B complex tablets that contain all B’s, and some C as well. Dosage is 1/4-1/2 tablet daily, and can be crushed into a bit of food, egg, or dissolved in a spoonful of water. Whatever vitamin, make sure there is riboflavin on the label. Heat sure can cause problems, and a reproductive problem could be possible as well. Coccidiosis is not that common in birds that age. But it is possible. You can use b vitamins with sulfa.,I would definitely get a necropsy by the state vet if you lose another, but keep the body cold, not frozen in a cooler or wrapped in bags in the fridge. I hope they get better.
