    Chicken with crispy, dry feathers.

    Hi all, We are having a bit of trouble with our 9wk old sussex. Over the past few weeks we have been treating our chickens for coccidiosis. We initially used Amprolium 200, but found that after we finished the dosage, the chickens didn't appear to be better. Last Monday we started a dosage of...
