Cocciodosis

[HollyParks]

Currently treating my entires flock with Corid. I’ve lost three young birds, and another is dying. I don’t know what else to do.

Have you tried giving them a direct, oral dose?

Not yet. Symptoms were visable only yesterday which is when I started treatment. They were all eating and drinking well. Should direct administration be from the water mix offered in the coop or should it be stronger?

Do you have the liquid or the powder?

Just looked over the link, what would be the mixture for drinkers if I decide to treat the whole flock? And is that actually effective?

I'm going to orally dose one pullet, but figure I would treat the whole flock via drinkers otherwise I'll be spending all weekend chasing them.

Liquid Corid dose is 2tsp or Powdered Corid Dose is 1 1/2tsp per gallon of water given for 5-7 days as the only source of drinking water.
Do not add any extra vitamins/electrolytes that contain B1(Thiamine) to food or water during the course of treatment.

Thanks for this. I was also wondering if the taste had any effect on their desire to drink enough of it.
