Please Help, My Chickens were fed Moldy corn & 3 19 week olds have died

[Lilokieescorter]

I've had 3 chicks die & i have another who was doing great this morning, but she's doing so well now. As I was holding her & feeding the other birds I happened to look at my oyster shells which I had fed to all the birds rhis past week, had sunflower seed hulls, thanks to the mice i keep trying to catch (it was kept in a bucket in our coop without a lid) & I had fed them moldy corn the first time not knowing that it was & the second time boyfriend saw it & removed the part that was moldy. What should I try? Should I try a molasses flush, or put some antibiotic I have Baytril, I, also have been treating for Coccidiosis.

Activated charcoal maybe your only hope.

X2 activated charcoal is the only thing that may work, antibiotics won't help.

Yes, 100% get a hold of activated charcoal ASAP! It saved one of our goats after eating something really poisonous.

How do I feed to them?

How do I feed to them?

I would say mix some into water and a little chicken food. They should gobble it up.

For toxins you can use a molasses, epsom salts or charcoal flush.

How old are the chicks?
What do you normally feed?
Do they have grit available?

You are also treating for Coccidiosis, what are you using and the dosing?
