Mareks Disease is what they meant. None of mine are vaccinated for ANYTHING, never have been, no need here. They don't need a cocci shot and don't need medicated feed, either. It won't hurt but probably won't help much, either. It will not prevent cocci, no matter what anyone tells you. If there are oocysts in the soil that cause cocci and you haven't given them any dirt in their brooder from early on, when they hit the dirt, they'll most likely get cocci anywhere from 4-10 weeks of age. After that, they generally outgrow it. You need powdered or liquid Corid on hand for when that happens. It's concentrated amprolium, the same med in medicated feed in a much larger dose. It is a thiamine blocker, not an antibiotic, so not a problem to give them Corid when they get cocci, which is very common, especially in wet areas of the country.ok so i called the hardware store, they have been given the "mech ? merk" ? shot but not the coccidiosis shot,,,
I'm stupid, please teach me----so do i put them on the medicated food?
