Been reading a lot about using medicated feed and corid in waterers, and was curious what everyone's opinions were on this subject?
Medicated chick feed usually contains: 0.0125% amprolium
Corid contains: 9.6% amprolium (example dosage: 2.5ml per quart of water)
Some people say that you can...
Two days ago my hen passed, her droppings were very watery and yellow. She had first started acting unwell about the day before and she stopped eating and was drinking lots. Unfortunately the vets aren’t able to do anything for us as they said that they don’t usually have any calls with hens...
One of my ~2 year old Leghorns has diarrhea and stopped laying about 5 days ago, and she used to lay everyday. I did find a large soft shelled egg in the coop yesterday, though, that I assume is hers. I also noticed my ~4 month old Silkie has what looks to be bloody poop. I found 2 spots...
Second time this week I have seen blood in 6 week old chickens. Just moved them to into old adult chickens coop (the adults are in new bigger coop) which was cleaned but maybe not spotless- so wondering if they caught cocci from them? They have never had any o virus signs but not sure what else...
Unfortunately I had a case of Cocci hit my mixed flock of turkeys and chickens. Today is day 5 of treatment and I have baby turkeys hatching. Will they need to have corid as well?
i have two hens (Frida a buff brahma and Agnes a silver laced wyandotte) inside right now with what we think is Cocci.
all of the symptoms but our fecal float came back clear. the vet and a relative let is know that its possible the parasites just arent shedding eggs, and that we shouldnt rule...
We have two RIR pullets(I think they’re both pullets) about 7.5 weeks old. One is smaller and one is larger. Yesterday we noticed the smaller one was not as active as she had been, today she is keeping one of her eyes closed unless I force it open and appears normal. She just seems a little more...
Hi all,
I have a clutch of eight 4-day old button quail chicks. They are in a brooder and have their mom with them.
Today I was cleaning their brooder and noticed 2 types of concerning droppings:
1) dark poops
2) diarrhea
I'm very worried about any disease spreading with these babies, as they...
On Friday I began noticing a few of our 2 wk old chicks being lethargic and having runny bloody poo. I separated the two that had those symptoms (I ended up separating a third chick the following day bc she began showing those symptoms also). I began corid on all the chicks we have and added a...
I am just at a loss at this point. I am on my 4th flock. I kept losing adult chickens to what I thought was Cocc. They were freeranged and sleep in coop at night. So for the new group, I decided they would be confined, just in case they kept getting into something out on our land. I decided to...
I had 5 9 week old chicks of various breeds. one died last week, I got them about a week and a half ago from a breeder. Since we have had them they have had diarrhea that is VERY watery. They are being fed chick starter (unmedicated), not sure what they were given before we picked them up...
I have a flock of 15 girls and about a week and half ago I found blood in stool and immediately treatment them all with Corid, I did the regular dose for 7 days and now I’m doing the half dose for another 7 days in water, some who looked a bit off got it for 3 days through syringe. I did not...
Hi, all!
I saw some blood in one of the chickens feces over a week ago and I started to treat with Corid, until I could get a fecal. In the end, they got 7 days of Corid
I got a fecal done and it came back positive for tapeworms. I gave them Panacur, it’s been a couple of days and I found...
My geese have had an on and off sickness that causes white watery diarrhea for awhile, I took two of my geese to a new vet not far away on Saturday, fecal test results just came in yesterday, they have cocci in their droppings plus a gram positive bacteria the vet says she strongly thinks is...
About 3 weeks ago we treated our young flock for cocci, (5 days). One ameraucana was sluggish and anything we tried didn’t help, so we tried Corid. All seemed good after that. Today our silkie is just sluggish and sleeping. This morning would not eat or drink. Gave some nutridrench and separated...
I had 15 white leg horn chicks. They are around 10 weeks old now. Last week I went out to find 5 of them dead. I wasn't sure what happened so I made sure to clean out the coop very well and give them fresh food and water. Well they keep dying. I am pretty sure its cocci. They are fluffy and...
Hi,
I live in Australia and it’s heading into winter. We’ve had a bit of wet weather where I live and I was cleaning out my cages and noticed one of my big chooks has had mucus blood in its poo and one of the little pullets. (they live in different enclosures). None of them appear to be sick...
Hi all :frow
I have a flock that is on the final day of a 5-Day Corid treatment for cocciodiosis. What are some recommendations to do after treatment for supplements? I've seen some posts recommend a smaller dose Corid preventative treatments. Some have even said to supplements with...
hi all! i have some 3.5 week old chicks and tuesday i found this
i only saw this one abnormal dropping so i just kept an eye out but everyone was active and eating/drinking well. 1 of the 5 is a bit smaller than the rest and hasn’t featured out as much but since they’re EEs i wasn’t sure if...
