@chickenlittle - Can't help with coccidiosis, but re: emojis, just type p00p instead of poop (use zeros instead of 'o's)

Thank you! I *think* they are on the mend. I know it should take a few days, meds are not magic. BUT there is only one that is looking yucky. This morning he had very bloody p00p. I syringe fed him some of the water, worried he wasn't getting up to go to the waterer and he just p00ped normal blood free p00p on me! He is a little skinny but I am hoping the lethargy will go once his tummy is feeling better and he puts on some weight.

Also does anyone know how to turn off the automatic emojis? It bugs me that poop changes when I am talking about my sick chicks.
Sorry, it's a standard setting for everyone. You can't turn it off...

Good News!!!

I was fully expecting the very lethargic chick to be dead this morning but when I lifted the lid off the brooder it scrambled away just like the others! It is still a bit puffed up but it looks way better and it had a nice full crop. NO fresh blood in the brooder and all of them seem to be there crazy selves today. I am cautiously optimistic!
