Good morning from sunny Quebec 
Yesterday I received the chicken emergency kit I tried to put together. I ordered some amprolium for coccidiosis. I read the instructions on the bag and I was wondering what happens if you have a coccidiosis outbreak in a deep liter method coop?
I mean.. ok, the birds will be treated and they will be better, but then, the old poop with the eggs in it? Won't the eggs mature and hatch and then re-infect the flock?
I do understand that in time, the hens will become sort of immune, or resistant to coccidiosis, but if new chicks are introduced in the coop?
Is it because the treatment is 3-5 days and the eggs hatch in 1-2 days that the treatment works correctly even with DLM? So the newly hatched protozoa are eaten by the hens on day 2 of the treatment for example, then the amprol will kill the protozoa once ingested so at the end of the 5 day treatment, all cocci is gone from the coop?
Just wondering.. I like to understand correctly hehe.
Thanks for educating me
It's been a while since I learned all about coccidiosis in school hehe.
