I wouldn't think it would be Cocci at her age, but maybe I'm wrong. It seems that our chicks have always gotten it anywhere from a few weeks of age to a couple months, so I'm sort of leaning towards worms. As far as I can tell, spring is known for "worm population explosion." I myself have been finding creative ways to give Verm-X liquid to the girls because the thought of internal infestation scares me. Just be sure not to eat Leia's eggs for about a month if she's laying before that timeframe ends!

Please keep us updated.

Hi

We went and got this medicine de-worming for dogs and my mom looked it up and said that Leia should have 1 capsule. How does this look to you guys?

Poultry of ANY age can contract coccidiosis. There are several strains of cocci protozoa, so they can become ill from any one of the strains.

My mom and I force fed her water mixed with de-worming

It should work in a day

How does the medicine look to you @enola ?

I believe that wormer will only get round worms. If you wormed her tonight, you should see round worms in her poop tomorrow.

So how would you get the rest?

You can worm her again in two weeks with a eormer with Albendazole, I think that is what you will find in Canada.
