What is wrong with my six week old chick!!

I agree with LaFleche that the poop looks like coccidiosis poop.

You can get Corid at Tractor Supply.

Corid dosage is 2tsp (10mL) of liquid Corid per gallon of water for 5 - 7 days.

Fresh Corid water needs to be made daily, so if you're using 1 quart chick waterers, it would be 1/2 tsp (2.5 mL) of liquid Corid per quart of water. This Corid water should be the only source of water the chicks have access to (and you should treat ALL the chicks).

Be sure not to give them any vitamins during treatment as it could make the Corid ineffective (it is recommended to give them vitamins - like NutriDrench - AFTER treatment).

Keep us posted!

Update,

He did a five day Corid treatment and is now on day three of NutriDrench. I have noticed very little improvement in his condition. He is curling his feet and still having a hard time balancing. Any advice?

I'll tag a couple of peeps who might be able to advise. My experience stops at giving Corid. I hope the baby gets better!

I would get some human vitamin B complex which has all B vitamins including riboflavin, which can help with the curled toes. He is a bit too young to be showing signs of Mareks, but it’s not impossible. Is he having anymore droppings with red or orange in them? I would encourage him to eat some mushy wet chicken feed, and a few bits of scrambled or boiled egg.

Thank you, I am also going to give him rooster booster today. I think it will help with giving home more vitamins he may be lacking.
