    Treating Coccidia

    Ever since I cleaned out the brooders two days ago I've noticed bloody stool. I picked up Corid 9.6% liquid and Nutri-Drench. Are these safe to mix in the same gallon of water? Also what dose/strength of the Corid should I use for the 5 day course?

From the local feed store I picked up 2 marans, 1 easter egger, 1 austra white, 1 comet, and 1 barred rock. And then because I'm crazy and want a variety of pretty chickens...
