I would try the severe outbreak dose of Corid, not both together.

1.5 teaspoons powder per gallon *or* 2 teaspoons liquid per gallon. Give for 5-7 days, make fresh daily. If you have the liquid you can give it as an oral drench. Dose is .2ml per 2.2 pounds. Small chicks I give one very small drop to.

Thank you very much. Did not know I could administer directly.

When I have a really sick one that's what I do, but I also give them the medicated water.

You mean an oral drench with the 9.6% Corid liquid straight out of the jar, right? So about .5 ml/cc for a 5 lb hen?

Quote: Yes, that's what I mean. A five pound hen would get .45ml, so .5ml is close enough, lol. If they have a strain that's sensitive to Corid the *one* oral dose is usually enough and then they start drinking the medicated water.

When I do it for a small chick I actually use a 22 guage needle to get a smaller droplet, but I wouldn't recommend doing that unless you're really good at giving fluids orally and have a very steady hand, lol. The last one I did was pooping huge clots of blood, so gave him one droplet and by the next morning the blood was gone and he was drinking the medicated water, so no more drops were needed.
