Long time no see, BYC! I'm going to make this post short and sweet lol.
What should I treat first? Worms or coccidia?
We had devastating flooding, it brought in a bunch of crap. I noticed some thinner chickens today and thought I should treat them to be safe.
I have corid(liquid) and Ivermectin(Pour on). Which should I use first? Can they be used simultaneously?

Their environments have been damp and humid, so my first thought was corid. I thought I should double check with experts first though.
 
I have read that ivermectin is at best only good for roundworms, but won’t treat other worms. SafeGuard Liquid Wormer and Valbazen will treat most chicken worms, and is give to each chicken. Ivermectin is good for mites and lice, but there is a long egg withdrawal time.

I don’t think there is any reason not to treat for for worms and coccidiosis at the same time, since the chickens are not terribly sick, just thin. You could save money and time though, to take in some mixed droppings to a vet for a fecal test to determine if there is any reason to treat. But many of us cannot get that done locally. Try offering some wet chicken feed mixed with a little plain yogurt for probiotics, and a little cooked egg or tuna for some extra protein.
