IMO it would depend what you are trying to prevent
Probotics would be ok but i would never use something like antibiotics to prevent anything if they did not have a need for it, bacteria and germs can build up an immunity to them and if your birds ended up with something that that antibiotic would have treated it could render it useless, then you would have to find something else to treat the illness and in some cases with antibiotics that may be the only treatment.
Ohh I didn't know Corid was an antibiotic. I agree with you on that. I do not want them to build an immunity to it at all. Mine are all on probiotics already so that's all they get.
Corid is not an antibiotic, it's the coccidiostat amprolium that's in *most* medicated chick feed. Sulfa drugs that are used to treat coccidiosis, like Sulmet, Dimethox, Albon, Sulfatrim, SMZ/TMP *are* antibiotics and should never be used to prevent it.
