I have 5 silver laced wyandottes, almost 3 months old. 3 cockerals and 2 pullets. Willing to sell 2 breeding pairs for $40/pair. Make an offer for all! (Only have 2 pictured, but can get more) Just to be transparent, they are currently being treated for possible Cocci in my flock, and will be...

Yeah, that make more sense.. I had a very long day yesterday, so I'm not braining very well today! LOL I was mistaken.. I looked at the feed again, and I thought I grabbed the 22%, but I accidentally grabbed the 18%.. I went to TSC since I needed bedding and grabbed a bag of BOSS and...

This is what I've started giving them (didn't realize it was medicated until I got home, but was told it wouldn't hurt them on top of the Corid).. As far as drenching them, it's not really feasable to catch/weigh/drench, since I have 37 of them.. LOL

Ok.. I'll start over and double the dose.. What about putting weight on them? They have a 5 gal feeder with access 24/7 if they want it.. I have NEVER noticed full crops on any of them, although they are all eating throughout the day..

Liquid.. This is what I was going by..

A few days ago, I noticed obvious bloody poop under the roos bars.. I immediately went out and got Corid, and started treating for Cocci, as I had a few chickens (2-3 months olds) that had droopy tails and puffed out and a few that were lower in weight than they should be.. I started treating...

So sorry to hear about the little one.. Sometimes nature knows, but when incubating them, we never know if it's because of the chick not being viable or something that happened during the hatching process.. It's definitely a learning experience.. Happy you have another little one to care for...

Sooooo... I went to give her some more egg yolk/crumble/vitamin mixture last night.. I had her in an igloo dog house with some fencing in front of it.. There was about an 8"-10" gap at the top of the fencing.. I looked inside, and she was gone!! She apparently was done being in there, jumped out...

Any updates?

Slowly is the best way to do it, and it sounds like you're doing just that!

I gave her some egg yolk with some rooster booster water in it last night, and I am so happy to say that she was holding her head up when I checked on her this morning!!! We still have a way to go because she is still weak, and tires easily, but she can eat/drink on her own and she's preening...

If they are on hatch day or after, sometimes even the smallest dip in temp can delay the hatch.. Keep your humidity up. You can use a bottle with a very fine mist, and mist 3-4 times a day or wet a paper towel (squeeze most of the water out) and wrap the egg, leaving the hole you opened exposed...

I hope so... I've dealt with chicks with similar issues in the past, but never at this age.. Something else I noticed, last night she would ball one of her feet up when I was holding her, whereas today, she's kicking and trying to get down...

Yes, she did finally poop (it was in her food, so no doubt it was her lol) and it was completely normal.. She seems to be getting a bit better, but slowly.. I put her on my lap and give her a starter/vitamin/meal worms (for extra protein) slurry, and hold her head up, so she's definitely getting...

Update.. She made it through the night.. She's refusing to give up, so I'm still working to help her.. I syringe fed her some watery mash, made with the water I gave her last night (rooster booster, honey and ACV).. I got her to lay down, but that lasted about 10 min.. She's trying her best to...
