MEDICATING FOR COCCIDIOSIS
Only when you see your chicks humped up with ruffled feathers standing alone in the corner, only drinking water they have started to get coccidiosis
this is only after they have been put on new soil
there are 9 kinds of coccidiosis germs
so every place may have different coccidiosis germs present
generally they do not get it in brooder
but you can carry it into them by handling sick chicks
or they get it when put in the brooder house and walk where sick chicks have walked or on soil
DO NOT medicate for coccidiosis IF your birds do not have symtoms of coccidiosis
It is very hard on them and will only cause them to be resistant to the medication when you need it
DO THIS NOW
I always started the chicks on this recipe and seen to it the sick chick got to the feeder
chicks will generally eat a wet mash
do not give the probiotic wet mash TILL they are over the medication
The day you take them off medication feed the probiotic wet mash and do so three days
then once a week for life
I have a wet mash recipe that has been very successful for myself and others for when chicks get coccidiosis
When you spot chicks humped up standing in the corner or over by them selves after putting on the ground I always immediately fed this to them
MEDICATED WET MASH NOW
1 gallon of dry crumbles
1-1/2 gallon of water
in the water use 1/2 first with 1 tsp of amproylium powder
I have used 1 tsp of sulmet
but I prefer a amproylium product
If few chicks make only 1 cup of dry crumbles and 1/8 of tsp of amproylium powder
2 cups of water mixed with amproylium powder
Then add rest of water till it is a very wet mash
put in feeders for all chicks so that each chick gets 2 tsp of it
see to it that the sick ones get to the wet mash
have the amproylium put in the drinking water for 7 days as well
ONLY MX what amount you will need to provide for the number of chicks you have so each chick eats 2 tsp per feeding
If you make too much store in ice box for next day
Only feed the medicated wet mash three mornings and when they finish it then cleclean the feeders and put back regular crumbles
And when chicks are well give this wet mash for natural probiotic effect to chicks
Thus the gut flora to fight disease is rebuilt after medication
Probiotic wet mash
1 gallon of dry mash (crumbles)
2 gallon of milk (sour is great as they like it, to sour a gallon use 3 tbsp of apple cider vinegar per gallon)
1/2 cup non flavored yoguart
mix and feed 2 tsp per chick twice week
and then once a week when not medicating chicks for life
Also when not medicating put 2 tbsp of ACV per gallon of water they drink three times a week
ACV only helps the chicken to use calium and vit D thoughly in th
