coccidia

We finally found a few chicks to keep my lone Brahma chick company (the guy the batch was hatched for didn’t want it because it ended up being splash); 4 2-3 week old buff Orpington chicks that are just a little younger than my Brahma, 3 of which look to be hens :fl. We brought them home, they...

I had an outbreak of coccidia a couple of weeks ago. I never had to deal with this before and ended up losing 12 of my 14 8wk old chicks. 😢 I have six 3-4 wk old polish chicks (1 is a lot smaller than the rest) in a brooder with a wire bottom and same thing with my twelve 2 wk old serama chicks...

I recently posted a couple of days ago that I have been treating my 6-8 week old chicks for coccidia. I've been treating them with corid but recently ran across sulfasol. My babies still are not doing well and I am now down to 3 so I am wanting to try something else other than corid to see if...

Hello, I am new to the group. I purchased chicks from who I thought was a trustworthy breeder. I discovered they had coccidia at a young age and thought it had been treated. Everyone was spunky again and eating/drinking fine. They are now two months old and they are not infested I believe. I did...

I recently got to American Peking ducks (they are around 5-6 weeks old) and they were so healthy! I clean their enclosure every other day, change their food every other day, and change their water 2 to 3 times a day. I have been keeping them in my garage to protect them from the rain and cold...

I have 15 chicks about 1.5 weeks old. One Cochin has had running poop from the beginning but seems heathy otherwise. Now some of the others are starting to have runny poop. Could it be coccidia? Can I use cordi on chicks that young?

don't know what happened! I'm not sure if it was due to pasty butt issues, got too cold and got trampled, or we have coccidia again?! Went out to check on babies to see how they were doing with new brooder heater, lifted it and two of my chicks were dead! If I treat for coccidia and it's not it...

Just when I thought I was in the clear, my current barn chicks just got hit with coccidia... (AGAIN!!! :mad:) Let me share my frustrations... So it all started in the summer, when Barn Swallows were nesting in the barn. They brought in the coccidia, I'm almost certain of it (Due to many bloody...

My poor Foghorn has really been through it. He was really lethargic yesterday, I could pick him up even & hold him in my lap. He'd falling asleep when all else was action action action. I've not been able to identify his particular poo. But there has been an increase in icky diarrhea the last...

So I recently (like this morning) found what appears to be blood in my chickens stool. I believe it’s coccidia, how ever I cannot seem to get any antibiotics online or in store (I can’t find any anywhere), does anyone have any tips or suggestions or information to share? No one acts sick or...

I have dealt with Coccidia before, but I'm not that familiar with it. I made the mistake of introducing a roo who i thought was clear of it in wit my main egg layers. I took him out immediately the next day after observing his droppings. Now I noticed this. Not sure if this is early coccidia...

Hello everyone, This is me and my husbands first flock of chickens and I think we have started off on a very wrong foot. We got several chicks from various breeders around the same time and did not keep them separate, which I now realize was a mistake. About 2 weeks later a few (3 of 10) started...

I have about 30 chicks in my barn and just yesterday I noticed poop that seemed a little bloody. Sure enough i confirmed it to be bloody poop today. (Im used to seeing intestinal shedded poop). I have Corid and will start, but can someone help me confirm dosage? And would it help at all to feed...

My female Bourbon Red is not looking good. I lost two to this same thing last year. She stands very upright and bobs her head. Someone said it could be Coccidia. I treated the flock last week, but there's still signs of it in the run. We live in Hawaii, and it's very warm and wet here. If...

I ended up with a barnyard mix chick that I think has been living a half feral life (long story). What are the steps I need to do to quarantine and make sure this chick doesnt get/transfer any bad coccidia/parasites, etc.? Im thinking medicated feed, a few pinches of prozap under the wings and...

A few of our 12-week-old chickens are having yellowish poops (sometimes foamier, sometimes more pudding-like than pictured), but are otherwise eating, drinking, and acting energetic. Their combs are all as red as usual. We have also seen them each take normal poops in between the scarier looking...

Our two month old chicks have been eating medicated chick starter since we got them at 2 days old. Today one of them started acting lethargic, broody, and was pooping blood so we took them to the vet and it was confirmed she has coccidia. It's not a very severe case, apparently we caught it...

Hi all, I finally joined BYC ! Ive had chickens most of my life, just got 6 three week old chicks today after going without for two years. Ive been a vet tech for over 30 years, so naturally first thing I did when I got them home was run a fecal (I have a home lab). I found a few coccidia and a...

I have an Olive Egger hen who has been yawning (as if something is stuck in her throat) regularly for the past few days. Other than the yawning, she was very active, eating well, etc. However, today I saw her sleeping/resting more than normal, and when feeding mealworms she was not as excited...
