sick chick

I purchased July 5th 2022 (3 week old) Swedish Flower Rooster from Meyer Hatchery, I called today and reassured that this bird was vaccinated to rule out cocci, I am obsessively cleaning the cage (I don't naturally enjoy the smell, I am giving medicated starter feed officially today I don’t...

Hi! I am a new chick momma. I have 17 - 4 week old chicks and they were all doing well till yesterday. One of my ancona chicks became lethargic and stopped eating. I separated her from the flock but I am not sure what to do to help her. I put scrambled eggs, meal worms, chick feed and water with...

Hi everyone! In need of some help/opinions. Saved a little chick that wasn’t looking too great from TSC. She wouldn’t open one eye and seems to maybe be a little discharge. Seems lost and spins in circles. She won’t eat or drink in her own no matter how many times I show it to her. She will walk...

We had a bunch of guinea keets hatch last week. One needed assistance as it wasn't in the proper position, but it came out looking normal. Yesterday we noticed it was seeming pretty weak and getting nocked around by the older keets, so we separated it with one other younger keet in a smaller...

I ordered 15 chicks that hatched on Monday and came yesterday. 14 of them are doing great. The Andalusian chick is a little lethargic. She's not eating much, but still drinking. She has a hard abdomen. None of the others do. I'm not sure what to do. She sleeps a lot just like any other newly...

Day before yesterday (possibly the day before that) I noticed my baby polish chick was acting weird (eyes half open), I feared it didn't have enough water so I filled the waterer with sugar water. Then later on I noticed one side of it's nose had stuff in it. I washed off what I could (I did not...

We picked up 6 Black Copper Maran chicks and 3 light Brahmas over the weekend. They are probably 5 days old now. One of the BCM is very small, which is becoming more apparent as the other chicks are already putting on size. Her wings are disproportionately small compared to her body size and...

Hello, I have a group of 6 and 8 week old seramas. Any 20 total. 1 of the oldest and 1 of the youngest are showing signs of cocci. They’ve been outside for 10 days. The two are fluffed up and isolating. Everyone else is fine. Here’s something I can’t find info on which is surprising: they have...

I just got some ducklings in the mail from a breeder today. They were in the post office for a day bc I couldn't get there on time yesterday. They all seem fine, except for one that's acting weak and wobbling its head a lot. I'm worried that it might be sick or dying from the stress of shipping...

So Saturday May 8th I bought 4 chicks from a local farm that seemed to have their s*** together. On Sunday May 9th, one of them took sick. The farmer insisted that it was "sour crop" while giving me instructions for clearing an *impacted* crop and she told me it was because of the feed I fed...

I have lost chicks during hatch but never a healthy chick this late in the game. I have eight, three week old chicks in a Brooder inside. One of them seemed lethargic last night and was dead this morning. Everyone else seems totally fine and healthy. No poopy butt and no suspected foul play. Any...

Hi, I've got a two week old flock of 6 hen chicks (salmon favorelle, orpington, EE, and Polish). All of them are thriving well. But, the two Salmon Favorelles--particularly-- have red inflamed skin and I'm not sure if they are responding to too much heat or pecking from another chick. I've...

I was just given a chick from a relative who they said it was sick, the chick has cream white eyes, isn’t responding to noise, very small, thin legs and has odd feathers?? (The flight feathers are very long but the Inner feathers are short). I assume she’s blind and deaf but I want to make sure...

This chick has been acting off for a few weeks now. Always sleepy. Usually by it self. Has a slightly curved beak eats fine drinks fine. It’s eyes just look weird to me and the behavior is odd. I’ve treated for coccidia as precaution but still the same. No signs of respiratory.

I ordered 7 chicks from Mt. Healthy Hatchery, and they hatched either on 4/2/2022 or early 4/3/2022. They shipped on 4/3/2022, and I just received them today, 4/5/2022. They all are happy and healthy, except the extra chick, that Mt. Heathy included as a 2% margin for any chicks that might...

Hi, This silkie chick is 6 days old. She is on Nutrena chick food and water with brags apple cider vinegar in very clean living conditions. What is this and how do I help her? Any suggestions are much appreciated! Poor girl ☹️. Photos attached

Hello, I have three roughly Two-week old satin chicks, all are incredibly active when they’re awake. I noticed them doing a lot of napping today. When I go to pick up their poo (I do this about every 15-20 mins) I’ve noticed some very dark almost black dropping of the most rotten, foul smelling...

I have 10 Cornish cross chicks (this is my second time raising up Cornish x), they're all about 2 weeks old, and one is nearly completely naked on her back! It's like there's not even an idea of feathers except head, tail, belly, and wings! She's also the smallest of them all. I know they're...

I recently bought nine chicks at the feed store to grow my small flock, and the chicks were doing fine until yesterday the smallest one(only 3 days old now) got wet. She had already been slightly weak, tottering around, opening eyes, etc. but after the water was spilled on her she’s having...

Today I noticed one of my chicks was droopy, they were ruffled up with a downward tail. I'm guessing it has coccidiosis as someone told me that what their symptoms sound like. I was wondering what the exact dosage for corid liquid bottle preferably in teaspoons/tablespoons would be for 1.5...
