    A quick Corid dosage question

    Hey Eggie! I am sorry about your chicks! I just went through this with 9 chicks that were 3 weeks old and 1 very sadly didn't make it past 3 days from start of corid. She was the first to show symptoms, which was just one bloody poop but otherwise a happy bird. Cocci really does get ugly fast so...

    Online Hatcheries?

    Thank you... Every morning I hold my breath until I have checked each one for some new catastrophe. Best of luck to you as well! One thing I have learned through this experience is that the health and level of protein fed to the parents really reflects in the chicks. Hope this helps!

    Murray McMurray chick delivery

    @EggSighted4Life I apologize for not telling you this Monday, but it has been a hard couple day. I ended up going to bed on Sunday and my little hatchery chick was eating and drinking. She was still slow to walk and often took breaks to sleep under the brooder but, at least every hour, I saw...

    Why is my cocci vaccinated hatchery chick pooping blood?? (poop pic)

    Really sad day today. Went to bed and my little chick was eating and drinking. She was still slow to walk and often taking breaks to sleep under the brooder but at least every hour, I saw that she was actively pecking around. When I woke up this morning (2 days and 16 hours after initial...

    Neighbor's dog killed hen - how to stay on good terms?

    Wow, what a sad thing to experience! I am so sorry :C I read your post to my husband who is an attorney here in Massachusetts and he agreed that since the chicken is your "property" that they definitely owe you that much but the problem is, as you stated, that they will just go to Agway and...

    Online Hatcheries?

    I wish I had read those reviews before I made my order. As I write this, another of my MMcM chicks is dying. I have never had to deal with cocci before this and despite treating immediately, it is taking its toll. This order has been heartbreaking to say the least. Good luck with your little...

    Why is my cocci vaccinated hatchery chick pooping blood?? (poop pic)

    :woot! Thank you for all this info! I feel like I am back in infectious diseases class, lol. I read every word and definitely agree it helps to fight something when you better understand it. I put a board under the water - great suggestion! Going to use Poultry Nutri-Drench and Durvet Vitamins &...

    Murray McMurray chick delivery

    OK just as you predicted, she wasn't interested in food (not even eggs or rice). I have been dropping a couple drops of Corid water onto her beak every hour. Even though I haven't been handling them much for fear they would get sick, she is still really friendly with me (or probably too tired to...

    Why is my cocci vaccinated hatchery chick pooping blood?? (poop pic)

    Wow, I am so sorry you lost her! I guess at least she didn't suffer but that would be hard. It is crazy how much personality they have! I have a bantam quail D'anver who follows me around whenever I am outside and just talks and talks like she is telling me a story, haha. Maybe one day I will...

    Why is my cocci vaccinated hatchery chick pooping blood?? (poop pic)

    Thank you for the reply! Yes, she has only had the Corid water available. She drank a little this morning but I will drip some onto her beak to make sure.

    @EggSighted4Life I am so glad yours made it. Thank you for the glimmer of hope!! I bookmarked those sites - After getting my first chicks last spring, I have become addicted to learning everything chicken related, lol. Going to try the scrambled egg and drip the water every hour.

    Why is my cocci vaccinated hatchery chick pooping blood?? (poop pic)

    It has now been 40 hours since I gave them Corid (severe outbreak dosage) in their water. I mix it fresh every morning. There were no other symptoms of cocci other than bloody poop when I treated them... they all were running around and eating and drinking. After 24 hours, the bloody poop...

    Murray McMurray chick delivery

    Thank you for a really informative post. They apparently do at Murray McMurray, which I paid for with each of my 15 chicks (9 making it to 3weeks), but I read someone else's post from 3 years ago that also had this same thing happen with chicks from them so who knows what they are doing over...

    @lzbloomy Are any of your chicks getting sick with cocci? Despite my paying for the cocci and Mareks vaccine and keeping them in an immaculate and huge brooder, mine started pooping blood this morning... Been treating them with Corid mixed in water thanks to some great advice I got both from a...

    Why is my cocci vaccinated hatchery chick pooping blood?? (poop pic)

    @Stephine Thank you sooo much for this advice! I have spent the entire day so stressed out from this! I am glad the outdoor flock will be ok and hopefully the eggs. I didn't realize that cocci is already in the environment. I used the deep litter method over the winter but then did a deep clean...

    I have no idea what I am doing

    Read this entire thread like a book and loved every second of it!!! I even recommended it to my mom, (who doesn't even own any feathered pets) and now she is a huge fan of Lucky! I have been planning to get/hatch call ducks next spring and I think I learned more from this thread than the past...
