I’m sorry that you lost her. If possible I would get some sulfa antibiotics in case you are dealing with a bad strain of coccidiosis that is resistant to Corid. Sulfa antibiotics can be ordered online. The two below are good, but the second one is temporarily sold out:

Thank you! I was wondering how I could get this without the vet. It’s a sulfa antibiotic that I have for the mama right now. Should I give the other chicks the antibiotic now, or wait? They have all been on corid for five days now, even the one that passed. They are very active rn and I’m only seeing normal poop.
 
I would watch them for worsening symptoms and treat if needed. Sulfa antibiotics require a month long egg withdrawal in hens, so I would not give it unless necessary. A necropsy done by your state vet would be the best way to get a diagnosis, to see if this is coccidiosis, enteritis, or what. If you lose another, keep the body cold and contact them and ask for details on how to get one. Here is a list state vet labs to contact in your area:

I meant mainly for the chicks, since it seems to affect them worse. The older hens are doing great, besides a few of them being lazy layers!
