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 them on Monday (6 days now) with 1 tsp per gal, based on the fact that it was only a few showing symptoms (moderate outbreak)..
I've noticed some foamy poops from a few of them over the past few days (most of my flock have normal poops), and then today, I came out to a dead cockeral.. When I went in the coop, I noticed bright green shavings on the floor where he was roosting last night...
I also observed foamy poop from another cockeral..
They get Corid in their water (only water source), water changed out everybday per instructions on bottle, are on 22% feed, get treats (meal worms, fruit/veggies) about 2x a week, so not very often).. No lice or mites, or obvious worms.. I am not separating the few, because if one has it, they all have it so I don't see a reason to.
1. How long does it take to see improvement on Corid?
2. Am I giving enough Corid, or should I start over and up the dose for a "severe outbreak"?
3. Since some have low weight, how do I help them gain weigh, since they are already on 22% feed?
