coccida

I put old leaves from the ground all around my property in the chicken run. These girls are THRILLED. They’ve been foraging through this all day. This is safe, right? They don’t leave their huge run, and I just realized that I may have disturbed the bacteria/biodiversity that they’re used to. I...

Hello! I just moved my five babies, about five weeks old, outside. When I went out to check on them this morning, I found a few concerning droppings. Is this coccidiosis, or are my babies just shedding their intestine lining? It looks like blood and not tissue to me, but I’m not sure. The two...

Google says..... Amprolium (CORID) is approved for use in laying hens by the FDA, which means there is no egg withdrawal period when using it. Eggs laid by hens may be eaten during and after treatment with amprolium. What is the general opinion? I don't always trust the FDA.

I have talked to about 10 different poultry experts and this is the Solution that best worked for me! For the treatment of coccidiosis in birds, it is highly recommended to use Corid at the rate of 9.6ml or CC per 1 gallon of water. The medication should be used consistently for about a week to...

I’ve been treating a polish chick for Coccidia and I am noticing a thiamine deficiency. The chick isn’t walking normally and is only laying down and when he does it looks like as if only one leg works. No, he doesn’t have any injury. I’ve seen this happen to a couple of my other chicks that...

Lethargic, no really wanting to eat, eyes closed and heavy breathing. Just started today but in hindsight it is not progressing like the other chicks. It is exactly 2 weeks old.

Hello, I am a new chicken keeper and this is my second time raising chicks. My first time I had no issues whatsoever but this time I believe I may have come across coccidia. I have ayam cemani, polish, silkies, and a white sultan in a brooder setup. They’re currently ranging from 3-4 weeks old...

Hi all, 2 weeks ago we had our first sign of coccidiosis with our babies (now 6 and 7 weeks old, then 4 and 5) it was the obvious first signs with bloody Poo from one or two chicks, and another one had very mucusy poo. I got corid, I followed 1 tsp to 1 gal dosage for 7 days. Things were cleared...

I’m a bit of a newbie chicken owner, I’ve had chickens for about 3 years now but I haven’t ran into any problems until now. My Brahma hens and Roo have diarrhea. They are about 11 months old and act healthy other wise. They are eating and drinking fine. I’m in Texas and the weather has been...

A month ago I hatched some chicks and when I spoke to a vet recently, he said it wouldn’t be a bad idea to give them amprolium. The feed I use is unmediated. I’ve used powder Corid in their water in the past, but I can’t remember the dosage to use. If anyone could tell me how much of the powder...

Hi, friends. Some of my fluffy butts are poopy butts, so I took a sample in to the vet today for a fecal exam. They found some coccidia (not a crazy amount). So I picked up some medicated feed today - thinking it would treated with amprolium but it's actually monensin. Can I use this an adult...
