It's most likely that Casper died of an acute coccidia infection. I can find no other cause.
I find another dropping in the loft which held a higher than normal number of cocci. I am hand treating each bird with 5mg of Diclazuril with a 10 day follow up. I decided not to use the Baycox right now because it is administered in the water. I want to be sure that all birds are evenly medicated.
