From at least one chick in the brooder, 6 days old. Last night and today. They all seem healthy, are feathering out and seem to all be eating and drinking. (Full disclosure: they are almost all solid yellow, it's hard to keep track of them when I'm observing.) Acting normal except for this.
If it IS coccidiosis, TSC is closed, so I'd have to wait to pick up Corid in the morning if so. I have liquid coccidiosis medicine called Albon (a trade name for dimethox, I believe) that we got and didn't need for a visiting goat. (I was being extra cautious.) It's a month old and has been in the fridge the whole time.
This site appears to be saying it can be used at .05% in the drinking water for six days. Does that apply to chicks?
