I have seen people mention egg yolk. That might be helpful. I personally have never done that until they were much older.I also read something about egg yolk.. could that be helpful as well ?

At 6 days it wouldn't be coccidiosis (but never hurts to have Corid on hand anyhow so keep it).They are 6 days old now. One is acting funny, she's skinny and weaker than the others. Had runny stools yesterday (still eating and drinking). No coccidia that I know of. (no bloody stools). But I'm picking up some Corid just in case. How often do y'all have failure to thrive chicks?
I’m in Virginia so Hoovers is a HIKE.At 6 days it wouldn't be coccidiosis (but never hurts to have Corid on hand anyhow so keep it).
Since you got them from a feed store you don't know the condition the chicks arrived in, like I don't know where Hoover's is in relation to your store, nor the travel time or route the chicks took to get there - there can be higher losses in winter because of the cold (and in summer when it gets very hot). So quite possibly these aren't failure to thrive cases, it could be that some of the chicks are being hit harder by shipping stress.
I don't have experience with Hydro-hen though I'm reading the use instructions right now... should be fine for occasional use but since it's an electrolyte solution the chicks should have plain water as well, or you should use it in moderation. I use Poultry Nutri-Drench instead.
