    My hen has round worms and coccidiosis. How long until she makes a full recovery and is it safe to assume she will make it?

    January 23rd my leader girl started laying in the middle of the run with her feathers ruffled up and her head hiding away. I figured it was due to the cold until the next day where I could tell she was way too sleepy and isolated and something was wrong. A trip to a our vet and he informed us...

    Bloody Poop

    Hi, I have had chickens my whole life but they’ve always been kept in a coop/run. Now we have acreage so our current group gets to free range. They are about 4 months old and yesterday it looked like a murder scene in the coop, lots of bloody poop. None of the chickens are injured and I wasn’t...

    Possible coccidia?

    can anyone confirm if these droppings indicate coccidia? I bought some Corid just in case, but I’ve never had an outbreak before so I’m not sure what I’m looking at. Noticed solid droppings with blood strands 24hrs ago, then watery droppings with blood and mucus. Here are the droppings as of...

    Chicken vomiting yellow liquid

    Hi. My chicken is a 4 month old Colombian rock cross. She was fine yesterday but today I found her hiding and lethargic. In this kind of a scenario I would assume is coccidious and treat with Corid. However when I picked her up, I accidentally tipped her and yellow drool dribbled out. That made...

    Mystery Chicken Illness?

    I posted in December (https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/coccidiosis.1607010/) about a sick chicken that did not survive. She was treated with Corrid and sulfa antibiotics. I have another chicken that is starting to exhibit the same symptoms that the previous chicken had. I am hoping I...

    Fecal float interpretation

    Hello I just got back results for a fecal float and I am looking for some help to interpret it. The first sample (Bird 1) was the bird I thought had more problems, loose stools. The second sample was for 2 other birds that had well formed poo. So this result is sort of confusing. I cannot find...

    Coccidia in baby and older chicks

    My younger Flock was diagnosed with coccidia by a vet. Before I found out they were infected I put eggs in the incubator and I have hens sitting on eggs that are about to hatch. My question is… do I need to treat the chicks in the brooders and the ones about to hatch for coccidia also? If so...

    Dry Leaves in Chicken Run

    I put old leaves from the ground all around my property in the chicken run. These girls are THRILLED. They’ve been foraging through this all day. This is safe, right? They don’t leave their huge run, and I just realized that I may have disturbed the bacteria/biodiversity that they’re used to. I...

    Blood in my one month old chickens poop- just moved outside. Is it coccidiosis?

    Hello! I just moved my five babies, about five weeks old, outside. When I went out to check on them this morning, I found a few concerning droppings. Is this coccidiosis, or are my babies just shedding their intestine lining? It looks like blood and not tissue to me, but I’m not sure. The two...

    Can I eat my chicken eggs while using Corid?

    Google says..... Amprolium (CORID) is approved for use in laying hens by the FDA, which means there is no egg withdrawal period when using it. Eggs laid by hens may be eaten during and after treatment with amprolium. What is the general opinion? I don't always trust the FDA.

    Coccidiosis

    I have talked to about 10 different poultry experts and this is the Solution that best worked for me! For the treatment of coccidiosis in birds, it is highly recommended to use Corid at the rate of 9.6ml or CC per 1 gallon of water. The medication should be used consistently for about a week to...

    Chick with Coccidia and thiamine deficiency

    I’ve been treating a polish chick for Coccidia and I am noticing a thiamine deficiency. The chick isn’t walking normally and is only laying down and when he does it looks like as if only one leg works. No, he doesn’t have any injury. I’ve seen this happen to a couple of my other chicks that...

    I believe our baby chick has coccidiosis 😔 any tips on how to treat other than Amprolium (we are using), and chance of survival?

    Lethargic, no really wanting to eat, eyes closed and heavy breathing. Just started today but in hindsight it is not progressing like the other chicks. It is exactly 2 weeks old.

    Bloody poop with chicks

    Hello, I am a new chicken keeper and this is my second time raising chicks. My first time I had no issues whatsoever but this time I believe I may have come across coccidia. I have ayam cemani, polish, silkies, and a white sultan in a brooder setup. They’re currently ranging from 3-4 weeks old...

    Chickens have Diarrhea

    I’m a bit of a newbie chicken owner, I’ve had chickens for about 3 years now but I haven’t ran into any problems until now. My Brahma hens and Roo have diarrhea. They are about 11 months old and act healthy other wise. They are eating and drinking fine. I’m in Texas and the weather has been...

    What is the dosage of amprolium for preventing coccidiosis?

    A month ago I hatched some chicks and when I spoke to a vet recently, he said it wouldn’t be a bad idea to give them amprolium. The feed I use is unmediated. I’ve used powder Corid in their water in the past, but I can’t remember the dosage to use. If anyone could tell me how much of the powder...

    Coccidia - monensin

    Hi, friends. Some of my fluffy butts are poopy butts, so I took a sample in to the vet today for a fecal exam. They found some coccidia (not a crazy amount). So I picked up some medicated feed today - thinking it would treated with amprolium but it's actually monensin. Can I use this an adult...
