coccidia

I scoop the poop out of the coop every morning and noticed this one with blood tinged mucus in it. I have a younger flock on medicated feed and they will steal theirs sometimes. Should I treat with corid? Is it safe if they're eating medicated food? Do I need to toss their eggs while on the...

Hi, I have coccidiosis for the first time in my life in my flock of 120 hens (they are mostly rescue and 2+ years old). My vet gave me this sulfa drug and said 3 to 5 days is enough. We are on day 4 and the poop is finally getting better, less diarhea, they are eating better. Should I extend...

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...

Hi all. Bare w/ me in this mystery... My 3yr old, appx 6 lb, Barred Rock layer hen, Peep, is the lone survivor of an attack on the flock. Long story short, she fast became an indoor chicken & a very special animal companion to my household. She free ranges daily w/ supervision, weather...

I’m on my third round of hatchlings and this round is getting hit hard with coccidia and Corid just isn’t touching them. I no longer feed medicated feed. They aren’t on wire flooring anymore and I usually will automatically start them on Corid for about 5 days when they are on the floor the...

My previous post updated. Finally got answers. Coccidia confirmed. Must treat all 4 2yr olds and the Roo. Vet said medicated feed 14 days. But I have to disinfect the coop, I’m in rural area-it’s in our dirt, so any suggestions? Thanks in advance!

I have a flock of 9. Two have coccidiosis. I noticed them both with their fluffed up look, lethargy and sleepy eyes. I treated immediately by replacing their regular water with water with Corid in it. This is day 2 of the treatment and I do notice the first bird picking up more energy than when...

I have some chicks that I am currently treating for coccidia as I found that they had some bloody poop. They range 3-5 weeks old and seem to be doing better on the amprolium treatment. I did notice on day two that my frizzle silkie had developed wry neck. Could this be from me treating with...

Hi all, 2 weeks ago we had our first sign of coccidiosis with our babies (now 6 and 7 weeks old, then 4 and 5) it was the obvious first signs with bloody Poo from one or two chicks, and another one had very mucusy poo. I got corid, I followed 1 tsp to 1 gal dosage for 7 days. Things were cleared...

Noticed some bloody/mucus poop under one of my chickens when I closed them in tonight. Assuming it’s cocci and going to start the whole flock on corid, but wondering others opinions and if it could be anything else.

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...

Hi there, I am a new chicken owner. I purchased my 3 hens at 12 weeks and they are now a little over 6 months. 2 of the 3 (a welsummer and wyandotte) are big, chatty, active, have full combs, and have been laying for a couple weeks, but my third (a cuckoo maran) is significantly smaller...

About a week and a half ago I took my bantam cochin hen, Lucy (1.5 years old), to the vet for a bulge on her face. It was determined that she had bacteria in her mouth, and was treated with Enrofloxacin for 7 days to help clear it up, which it did. The main concern was everything else we walked...

I have 10 chicks that are 3.5 weeks old. They'll be 1 month old on the 20th. They are all vaccinated for coccidiosis, and we're on medicated starter for just over a week. Since then they've been eating all flock. This morning I noticed quite a few poops with blood in them. Do you think it's...

I have a four day old Orpington that is having a rough time, I picked my chicks up from the post office yesterday, got them all set up in their brooder and had seen all of them eat and drink before I left for work. When I got home that night I noticed one of the chicks wasn’t nearly as active as...

Hello, I have a group of 6 and 8 week old seramas. Any 20 total. 1 of the oldest and 1 of the youngest are showing signs of cocci. They’ve been outside for 10 days. The two are fluffed up and isolating. Everyone else is fine. Here’s something I can’t find info on which is surprising: they have...

Hi All! Hoping someone can help. I have a 3 1/2 month old hen who is on day 7 of Corid in her daily drinking water. We had 15 chickens and somehow one of them picked up the coccidia virus and we lost five chickens within 18 hours before we could identify what we thought the virus was. I got the...

I bought the 9.6% oral solution of Corid amprolium. I’ve been reading that the dosage should be 10ml/gal but some of these posts are talking about 20% Corid. How much should I be sticking in a gallon? My birds are 3 weeks old. Behavior seems mostly ok so far but I did see bloody diarrhea...

We have been treating for coccidia and one of the two birds below was taken to the vet and confirmed intense coccidia in the flock. Her and her sister both have this weird eye thing going on. Huge pupils and a crescent moon in the front. Does anyone know what this could be?

I got 5 chickens from the flock swap a month ago 4 Isa brown and one rir. Everyone has been fine although we are experiencing cold weather right now. I noticed she would be hunched up and thought to myself I need to get her and isolate but when I would get out to the chicken yard all seemed fine...
