Hello. Our hens' fecal float came back positive for cestode protozoa. Our vet prescribed Corid (3ml/gal) for 5 days. I assume that's for the protozoa, and FWIW our hens don't show any signs of bloody stools (cocci). Just some slightly runny poo.
I had to look up cestode to figure out that it's...

Hi all,
New to the forum, but we've been raising chickens for about 2 years. I have been unlucky enough to have my first run in with cocci. Guess it was a good run while it lasted. We're treating with corid. Showing typical symptoms lethargic, ruffled, stay near heat source and bloody poo. I...
Hi everyone! We have 12 chicks that are about 4 weeks old. We hatched them ourselves and purchased the eggs from reputable local breeders. All are doing really well - happy and healthy except for one. About 10 days ago we found her huddled under the heat lamp with eyes closed and feathers...
Hi everyone! It's been a crazy week trying to get rid of mites, lice, and cocci in everyone / everything while caring for a newborn chick who was initially struggling from cocci. I have 3 hens in our large coop and now we have this one baby chick. 3 days ago I removed and discarded all bedding...
I'm having difficulty diagnosing my hen.
She has very smelly yellow/green diarrhea, lethargic, hardly eats/drinks, looks depresed, lost a lot of weight, and is acting cold (even when it's not). Been going on for a little over a week. At first I was thinking Coccidiosis, but her diarrhea doesn't...
Last year I read that exposing chicks to soil early on will help them build up immunity to cocci. So I plan to implement it this year. Actually next week is when I am going to get some chicks.
I am asking those who are experienced with this, what soil should I use? From the chicken run...
She had a pale comb for a while. I thought it was because she was being bullied and couldn't get enough food. Heat stress might have been a factor, off and on (it's summer here). Last week we separated her (the 5 others are fine) and gave them all 2 days of Cocci-Amprol, which helped a little...
Hi,
I apologize for talking about quail but I believe this problem can also happen in chickens?
I have two quails that are about a week old. There was a third one that died suddenly. He started to huddle up in a corner, his eyes closed and head droopy. He would even do this in my hand. His...

I have 5, 6 week old chicks, and 3 full grown layers. I've been noticing blood in their feces, I first noticed about a week ago, I figured out which one I thought it was a corinteened it. After a full day with no bloody poop I returned her to her sisters because she seemed lonely. Yesterday...
Gosh, I have a sick chick in with my broody hen, Buff, and 8 other chicks. They are 4 weeks old today.
My lavender orp chick is puffed up and I think has coccidiosis. She is still eating
Questions I have:
How do you treat with Corid (amount/ length of time)?
Should I give electrolytes and...
I need to confirm a few things and ask some specific questions.
I have two 6 week pullets that came to me 2 weeks ago. They have symptoms of coccidiosis, or at least one of them does. There is some bloody mucous poop, not always. At first I freaked out, then decided to do some research. The...
