Don't knock normal! It's much more hopeful treating a chicken with energy and vigor, signalling a strong immune system. She's much more likely to kick this.

Hi, just an update and a question:Don't knock normal! It's much more hopeful treating a chicken with energy and vigor, signalling a strong immune system. She's much more likely to kick this.
Got it--thanks. Last question: do you have tips on treating just one chicken with the sulfa med (which is a powder)? Or should I maybe treat the whole flock with Corid and Sulfa meds mixed together in their water after the freezing weather (and just give Willow Corid directly in the meantime)?The sulfa med is an antibiotic used with a coccidiostat (Corid) You would still be wise to use Cord with it. If you've already completed the five day course of Corid, then just use the sulfa alone.
Your chickens will be fine in the cold. You will just need to check frequently for frozen water and replace it. Observe behavior and carefully note any chicken by herself nodding off or off balance or stumbling. That chicken is in trouble and needs rewarming and warm sugar water with electrolytes.
A heat lamp in the run or wherever they are during the day will allow them to warm up when they feel dangerously chilled.
