How to treat whith 20% corid powder?

[tacothechicken]

Ok guys so i was going to do a mass corid treatment for my flock as some are carriers and I have now moved in some young untreated pullets from this summer. But my store was out of the 9.6% oral so I got 20% powder instead, what does dosage size change in response? All my girls are now full grown so just based off standard hen size.

Doesn't matter size or age. Dose of the powder is 1.5 tsp per gallon of water for 5 to 7 days. If needed you can do a follow up additional week at 1/3 tsp per gallon for another 5 to 7 days. I only do this if they are slow to respond to treatment. If you do not have any birds with symptoms, then I would not treat. Your young pullets, if they have been on the ground, may already have been exposed and built some immunity. I would watch for symptoms, and treat then. I have never used a preventative dose, only treated as necessary. Treatment chart below, if you have an outbreak or a bird or birds showing symptoms, always use the severe outbreak dosing. Make fresh daily and make sure it's the only water they have access to during treatment.

@coach723 perfect thank you! My main flock already has some carriers and while the introduced pulleys dont show any signs I still have 4 babies in a A frame and 2 of which seem they may have it as I originally thought they had worms based on wieght loss and not eating properly but theuve been wormed and treated for chances of mites and have not improved so I suspect it's cocci. My main flock had rasping and eye bubbles when they originally caught it which is why I didnt assume Cocci originally. Now i think its really the only possibility as anything else (mites, worms, lice,) should have been treated and cured by now.
