Corid vs Ericlor 10

[Rustycage]

Can you please post photos of the chicks, the brooder setup and their poop?

You have 16, 8-Day old chicks in a 3x3 brooder.
It's 90F in the garage and you are providing a heat lamp which you turn off at 80F-80F. You mention in 1 place the lamp is pointed at 1 corner, in another you mention 2 corners.


Too hot and not enough space to get to a cool spot.

Provide more room for them. While yes, chicks need heat, they also cannot regulate very well. Turn on a fan and give them some indirect air flow. Chicks can tolerate cooler temps better than Hot.



The Corid will not hurt them, but if you are going to treat, then give the correct dosing which is below. Make sure they are drinking well. With that many chicks in a brooder, you likely need 2 water and feed stations.




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.

There are 9 strains of Coccidia that affect Chickens. Only a couple of those present as blood in the poop, so chicks can have Coccidiosis even if you don't see bloody poop.

90 degrees maintained in brooder , it's 73 in the garage , there's a 8ft cage pictured that will be converted into a brooder today , meanwhile these 7 in the floor can continue to clean up a feed spill for a bit

Sounds like they are improving.

I agree with you, give all of them the Corid.

You only need one warm spot in the brooder, so giving them more space where it's cooler is best. Make sure Corid is the only thing in the water stations and that all are drinking.
Looks like they are eating!

Keep us posted on how they are doing, and I look forward to seeing the new brooder setup along with those adorable chicks.

They had full run of the garage today , cleaned me up after 0900 weed eating & helped me work on the 6x8 brooder ! Couple stragglers but everybody's eating & drinking , they even picked @ watermelon for a treat , I noticed the 1 straggler that Inspired me to treat them has 1 eye shut & what looks to be infection in it , wasn't there this morning - but he's still eating & drinking , the other 14 are absolute spoiled little monsters
