Welcome to BYC! Do you have Corid powder or liquid?

Kathy powder Cordid 3/4 tsp per gallon fresh each day plus dropper feeding 1 1/2 tsp per gallon several times a day. For the beginning two days every hour.

Thank you

The correct Corid dose is 1.5 tsp per gallon. If you're worried that some aren't drinking enough, mix 1/2 teaspoon with 10 ml of water, stir well and give 0.07 ml per 100 grams once a day for 1-3 days. Do this in addition water medicated at 1.5 teaspoons per gallon.

Do you have a way to weigh them? Dose for a 400 gram chick would be 0.3 ml.

Ok. Both weigh 400g. Will up dose. And so I understand that the dropper mixture they are getting .7ml each day once?

 

[casportpony]

Quote: 0.296 ml (~1/3 cc) per 400 gram chick, not 0.7 ml.

On top of that, encourage them to drink as much water as possible. Are they eating?

Can I put raw honey in the water?

-Kathy

Sorry each chick is 400g...

They are eating great, they do drink water

This is after being left for 4 hours.

Most poop is good and normal but one out of 5-6 is a little watery. They also have cecal poops

Quote: Since they are eating, you could mix their crumbles with medicated water from 1.5 tsp/gallon water source. Not sure I would put honey in the water, 'cause they might not like the taste of it, which would make them drink less.
