That's a lot of dairy. Too bad my wife and I are lactose intolerant. Doesn't stop me from having milk in my coffee. My wife just has to tolerate public flatulations. Anyways, here are some pics of our roosters that are leaving today...

Thanks! Haha. I wish. That would mean I would have been paid to take these. I do love my EcoGlow though. Yeah it was tough with the little 10W CFL I have for them. The brooder also lets light in as its just 4 old storm windows I re-purposed for walls. I literally used six 2x4s to make a...

Here are some of my 2.5 week old chicks in their new brooder.

I would not give them vitamin water if you suspect they have coccidiosis. I'm not sure what vitamins are included in the mix, but cocci thrive on thiamine [Vitamin B1]. Also, don't add anything else but Corid to the water. I hear buttermilk or milk will slow coccidia if you need to wait till...

I just read the whole thread. I don't remember anyone suggesting that it might be cocci [except for OP on Post #1]. She also treated with Sulmet which only treats 2 of the 9 known cocci strains. If you're rooster has signs of lethargy, listlessness, loss of appetite, does not want to drink...

I can't recommend the EcoGlow enough. As a first time chicken raiser, it takes a lot of stress off. There is no fumbling with thermometers, lights, worry about fire. Plug and play. The chicks manage their own temperature. Sleep under it if they're cold, outside of it if they're hot. If you're...

No, it won't harm her. Amprolium is just a thiamine blocker [cocci thrive on thiamine]. I would also give it to the rest of your flock. The treatment is for five days and do not give any supplemental vitamins while on amprolium. After the five days, give the flock either Sav-A Chick electrolytes...

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but if it's cocci, wouldn't the protozoans inhibit the ability for chickens to absorb nutrients? So shouldn't the cocci be treated first? It sounds like cocci to me. Lethargic, loss of appetite, not drinking, watery poop [sign of cocci does not have to bloody...

I never tried this, but I hear giving buttermilk or regular milk will slow cocci. Maybe that will buy enough time until you find some amprolium.

For the sake of people searching the threads for the same symptoms. My chick is doing great. She's eating and drinking on her own. She still tends to sit a lot, but will rush out of the brooder once in awhile with lightening speed. Poops have become solid and back to normal. Her feathers are...

This looks like a 'Tractor Supply-like' store near Vancouver Island. http://www.buckerfields.org/

I also searched Amprol and it also comes in the 20% and 9.6% varieties.

Also, I think the name brand is Amprol in countries outside the US. Like DaddyBird said, its not a specific medication to treat chickens. It's to treat cocci in cattle, but will work for chickens. I did a quick search and I don't think Vancouver has Tractor Supply Co stores, but look for...

I agree with dandrews1971. Seems like Cocci was the only thing you haven't tried.

You might have to contact an admin to get it moved.

Welcome! I was also a long time user, but never a member.

Welcome to BYC! Moshie looks awesome! We're hoping that our 6 month old chocolate lab will become a guard dog and not a predator. Any tips on socializing?

Isn't ruffled feathers a sign of Cocci?

Yeah, like you said, it wouldn't hurt. I hope your chick gets better!
