I have found here at my farm that corid is quite ineffective for peafowl which is why we only use Toltrazuril.

Why would you give a two-week-old chicken chick Corid?

Cocci usually does not bother chicken chicks like they do peachicks. It is more likely a bacterial infection, I would give one drop of Baytril orally and repeat if no progress is made within a day.

In areas that are bare dirt or sand and inside the metal brooder coop on concrete I use a pear burner or weed torch to kill cocci and worm eggs. It can be a slow process but if you heat up the concrete or dirt hot enough you can kill everything even below the surface of the dirt. I also clean...

This is the PEAFOWL section of BYC, when given to PEAFOWL we expect to hatch the eggs, not eat the eggs or the meat.

Or you can make a wet mash with the medicated water.

I always say, Too much of a good thing isn't.

It wasn't pokeberries that made your peahen sick. Pokeberries are actually good for birds, we have them and our birds eat them all the time. We even cut down the big branches and tie them to the pen walls for the caged birds to eat.

It is so frustrating to go through that, I know. There is just too much internet (mis) information out there that is hard to battle. The links to prove the effectiveness of sulfa drugs should help. I, for one, will not recommend using Amprolium in peafowl ever again.

That is why my vet sent these links to me and suggested that I use SulfaMed-G since the Corid seems to not be working. One of the articles states that amprolium does not work well in game birds and sulfa drugs are the better choice. That being said, and to my dismay, my math was off by a...

Cocci, the never ending battle. Here are a couple of links my vet sent me that I found very interesting. http://www.scienceinternational.com/fulltext/?doi=sciintl.2013.261.265 and, http://www.merckvetmanual.com/mvm/poultry/coccidiosis/overview_of_coccidiosis_in_poultry.html Hope you...

I am on my way out to collect samples from all pens and will run fecal exams this evening. I did notice that adjacent pens had some runny stools so I started all pens on Corid at 2 tsp per gallon. I am suspecting foot traffic has spread it from pen to pen.

The MBS are adult and since it is so hot they have been drinking about a quart of the mixture per day.

Here I go again... I recently bought a pair of Midnight BS and put them in isolation for observation and treatment. I ran fecal exams on them and a pen of young chicks about four months old at the same time. Both pens showed cocci in massive quantities with no worm eggs in the chicks and...

My adults get 0.70 ml per day orally in their mash for five days. It definitely worked as observed by fecal float exam. For chicks, I use a 16% medicated chick starter and add egg either hard boiled and blended in with a blender or raw and hand mixed into the feed. It also makes a great hand...

Do you have a scale that you can tell us the weight in grams?

I would use the 6kg formulae she posted above, 0.70ml once a day for five days.

When I dose with Metronidazole, which comes in tablet form, I simply crush them up and add that to the feed.

Also best to use soft water for medications, my vet told me that hard water will diminish the effectiveness of medications.
