I have a chick with runny, pink stool and another with drooping wings. There are 6 total, 4-5 weeks old, and they were vaccinated at the hatchery for coccid and Marek's. They are getting non-medicated feed and electrolytes + probiotics in water. Per the hatchery's instructions, they have had...
Out of our 9 easter egger chicks, two started acting weird yesterday. Thought they were cold outside so we turned on the CHE, it did drop here from the normal.
We lost one this morning. The other is still hunched over. In almost a standing sleeping ball. Barely chirping and moving.
We have...
First time chicken mom. Long story short… had 3 silkie chicks die all within a few days of each other over a week timeframe. Not any symptoms besides lethargy from them, but I was worried the flock maybe had coccidiosis. So I mixed the correct amount of corid with water and left it for them...
Today was the first day they had bloody poop! We are 5 days after a completed 7 day treatment of corid for cocci.
I just started them on nutri drench and probiotics and fresh berries and oatmeal past two days.
Today there was bloody poop in the coop. No one is acting off at all!
We were...
Looking for any ideas on what might be going on. We brought 4 new pullets into our flock. 2 cream legbar and 2 EE's. The EE's are older by a few weeks. I have now lost both legbar. Both seemed to have the same symptoms. Also a few from my older flock seem a bit off. There was red in the pullets...
I scoop the poop out of the coop every morning and noticed this one with blood tinged mucus in it. I have a younger flock on medicated feed and they will steal theirs sometimes. Should I treat with corid? Is it safe if they're eating medicated food? Do I need to toss their eggs while on the...
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 four 8-week pullets I'm moving into a coop formerly occupied by a small flock of grown hens. I say formerly, because a fox* wiped them all out and these pullets are their replacements. I have no idea if my previous flock ever suffered from coccidiosis, but if they did, the bacteria would...
Back on August 6 I started giving our flock 1.5 tsp/gallon Corid. It's time to stop the full treatment dose, but is it recommended that I drop to a maintenance dose? Or is recommended that I give them a two week break and then retreat (like some parasites?)
Thanks!
My chicken is 2 years old. She’s on day 3 where she spends most of the time just sitting down. She’s not drinking water or eating her food, yesterday I got her to eat some pieces of corn and worms. I could feel her bones from under and notice the weight loss. Someone said my chicken could have...
Hi! I have a 11 week old silkie that is pooping blood. I’m pretty sure it’s cocci for the obvious reasons, but wanting to make sure I’m treating correctly.
She’s acting totally normal,not puffed up or hiding, she’s scratching around with everyone else. I just found some in the coop this...
Need some help for a young pullet who has recently lost her ability to walk and is stumbling.
I brought home three approx. 8 week old pullets about 2 months ago, I noticed they had blood in their poop so my mind jumped to cocci and I started them on a Corid treatment for a week, then the next...
Hi everyone, I recently received chicks from Cackle on Friday. I know shipping causes great stress on the chicks so there has been some issues that have me worried about them every second of the day. Anways, we have had a bad case of pasty butt with this bunch and I have been cleaning it with...
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...
Please help. Does this appear to be coccidiosis??
I seperated the infected chicken from the flock, she doesn’t have any other symptoms other than pooping this long jelly blood clot. After this she pooped white diarrhea.
I changed all of the waterers and added a drop of vitamin chicken liquid...
Hi there! I have chicks that are showing some signs of cocci and so I am planning to treat them. (Two weeks old, one is a little hunched up, drowsy, lethargic, yellow/mucusy poop.). That said, I pulled my corid and it expired January 2022. My local feed supply is out and so I am looking to...
I've been treating my pullet with the powdered corid in her drinking water for a week and it is definitely helping her and she's slowly getting better but I want to just knock this thing out since she got pretty bad before i could get my hands on some corid....so I have some toltrazuril...
My chicks are now about 6 weeks old and I’ve been letting them free range during the day and bring them inside at night since we had a bit of a warm spell. It looks as though a couple of chicks are beginning to have bloody stools and act lethargic. I’ve been feeding them medicated starter with...
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...
Could I give corid powder to chickens 1 Gal per week? As a preventative measure to keep them from getting sick? I don't know if I have just bad luck, but I hatch out a ton of chicks. And clean everything but I will still have chicks die and or get sick randomly out of no where. I even spray...
