Young chick is very weak

[Babyjulie]

Whenever I get chicks... And trust me, there will be many more times for you too, I like to have Corid on hand. A sick droopy chick like that makes me think of coccidiosis.

Yes, that was my first thought. I gave her corid for a whole day but when she wasn't getting any better and the others weren't getting sick at all I followed what others were suggesting. They told me to give her nutri-drench and sugar water. I stopped the corid because the others weren't lethargic at all. I won't know what she had unless others get sick too, which hopefully won't happen. I'll be watching them all very closely, if any others start showing symptoms I will probably treat them all. Thanks for all the advice

It depends on if you are using the liquid corid or the powder, you might be better of searching in the forums for an already existing discussion.

Corid powder dosage is 1 1/2 teaspoonsful per gallon, while Corid liquid dosage is 2 teaspoonsful per gallon, for 5 days. Givesome probiotics or plain yogurt, and some poultry vitamins when they finish the Corid.
