Urgent! Possibly of what's wrong with our 5 week old chicks? Graphic pic poop

Day four of corid water. Definitely acting like chickens again! I know it's live and learn. But I feel horrible about the two we lost. Had I posted when I first noticed our Owl acting hunched, we might have been able to save them all, but because of the weather we just thought they were cold.

I'll be okay. Just takes time.

Glad to hear they are doing better!

It will be o.k. Losing little ones can be hard.

So glad to hear they are all acting better. Glad the Corid has helped in time. It is unfortunate that you lost the 2, but I hope the others all survive. Let us know how they get along.

Babies have been moved outside after seven days of treatment, will let their corid water run out but they are definitely acting like chickens! And they enjoyed being outside!

*Would have taken them yesterday but we were assembling the new run

Hubby was reading the corid can slow their(the chicks) growth for a while. Any one know more details? Thanks!

Nope, never had an issue with using Corid as directed.

Links to the article/information that he read? Thanks!

I would have to do my own research to find out where he read what lol I'll ask him and find out, maybe the articles mentioned the growth rate of the coccidiosis themselves and not the birds?

Coccidiosis can slow a chick’s growth rate. I have never read that about Corid use, and wonder how anyone would know. So glad the chicks are doing well.

Okay, thanks. I will ask him if he meant the medicine or the cocci and go from there
