Whats wrong with our chick?

[Wyorp Rock]

Thank you for your knowledge. It looks and sound like coccidiosis. I checked all the things referring to mareks and it doesn't seem to be that. I'm separating her from the flock now and going to try a dose of medication. Do you recommend anything?

I would get some Corid and treat all the juveniles.

I pick some up yesterday and I have treated all of them. I have her in a separate broader. Unfortunately I was watching a video about Marek's and our chick is doing the exact same things. This person started giving it poly visa tol because they thought it might be a nutritional defenciency like mentioned in here. Said the chick was getting better. I'm going to try that today and hope it isn't Marek's.

I would finish the course of Corid.
Vitamin Therapy may be helpful and give a boost if it is Marek's, but unfortunately there is no cure for the disease. The Marek's vaccine does not prevent infection from the virus, it will help prevent the formation of tumors, so even if vaccinated, birds can become sick, symptomatic and the virus can still be spread. If you lose a bird, then sending the body for testing is the best way to find out if Marek's is what you are dealing with.
Marek's is a lifelong disease and can be transmitted to other birds.
It also allows other conditions to flourish in birds.

Poly Vi Sol, personally would not be my first choice to use. I would use Poultry Cell or another poultry vitamin that contains B1, B2 and Vitamin E. You can use human vitamins as well - Vitamin E + B-Complex. (400IU Vitamin E and 1/4 tablet B-Complex).

Extra vitamins that contain B1 should not be used in conjunction with Corid since it can reduce the effectiveness of the Corid.

She is eating well. She always has a full crop. Ill send a pick of her poop. Thank you again for the help and knowledge.

Could be intestinal shed mixed under there, but for me if I had a bird that was not doing well and saw that in their poop, I would treat with the Corid. 1.5 tsp Corid powder or 2 tsp Corid liquid per gallon of water for 5-7 days.

Once that was finished, then I would give vitamins and probiotics.

I believe you are right. I have been treating her with Corid and after the first day she seemed a little better. I will continue this treatment in the entire flock for 5 more days. Thank you again for help and knowledge. I will post pics in a couple days to hopefully show great improvements.
