Soaking a MealWorm in Corid...? Good/Bad idea?

[Parker707]

From the reading I've done I would say my little ButterCup has a mild to mid case of Cocci.
She sits or lays down about 80% of the time with her wings dropped.
She IS eating and drinking and the other chicks are not picking on her.

I have medicated the water with 1 tsp of Corid to 3/4 Gal of water... I was just thinking... to MAKE SURE she gets the Corid in her why couldn't I let a mealworm soak up a teeny tiny bit of Corid and feed it to her. She loves those worms and will eat them from my hand.

Before I do..... thoughts on this!!?!!!?

I am broken hearted that she is "ill" and this being my first experience with chickens doesn't help much.

Getting her to drink the medicated water would be much more effective.

Enola....
I should say "in addition to" the medicated water ..... what do you think about a soaked worm...and they don't soak up too much, I laid one down in a DROP of Corid...just gets it wet enough, what I'm worried about is it not being diluted enough.

A meal worm is not going to soak up enough water to be beneficial. Just my opinion. You would be off to use the Corid water to make a wet mash that she will probably eat.
