Need advice regarding treatment for my two-year-old Polish bantam hen who is sick. We first noticed symptoms a week ago. We found her in her outdoor run on Sunday very lethargic but standing up. We assumed it was heat related and spent the night cooling her off. She perked up a little and ate...
Hi Everyone!
We brought home pullets 4 years ago and have enjoyed the experience without much drama or challenges. We've decided to grow the family and just brought home two little baby chicks and are quickly realizing, they need A LOT more specialized care than our pullets did! They are so dang...
I had an outbreak of coccidia a couple of weeks ago. I never had to deal with this before and ended up losing 12 of my 14 8wk old chicks. 😢
I have six 3-4 wk old polish chicks (1 is a lot smaller than the rest) in a brooder with a wire bottom and same thing with my twelve 2 wk old serama chicks...
I recently got to American Peking ducks (they are around 5-6 weeks old) and they were so healthy! I clean their enclosure every other day, change their food every other day, and change their water 2 to 3 times a day.
I have been keeping them in my garage to protect them from the rain and cold...
I have 3 poults and I've seen bloody poop, so I started giving them corid. But 2 of them are sneezing a lot, have discharge coming from their nose so I'm thinking a respiratory infection. Can I also add antibiotics to their water with the corid? Thanks!
One of my friends said that my chick looked like it had coccidiosis after looking at the stool. I’ve been treating all 4 chicks with Corid with the suggested treatment that I found on here. Tomorrow is the last day of treatment. One of my chicks (The one that has always been the most concerning)...
Ok guys so i was going to do a mass corid treatment for my flock as some are carriers and I have now moved in some young untreated pullets from this summer. But my store was out of the 9.6% oral so I got 20% powder instead, what does dosage size change in response? All my girls are now full...
I’ve been battling coccidiosis for a while now. My chicks got it and had to be treated twice because it came back. Once they seemed ok they were integrated with the rest and they got it. I gave them all 2 tsp of powder in 5 qts for 8 days, changing water daily. Now a week after stopping I’m...
I originally posted about my ill, 6 month old BO pullet here. In a nutshell, she went off her feed and was having pretty explosive green diarrhea, often chunky and reminiscent of c. perfringens photos I've seen on the web. Despite all that, she was still energetic (and a huge pain in my ass per...
Hello! I hope everyone is enjoying their weekend. On two separate occasions in the past couple of days, I've noticed a teeny tiny bit of slimey orangish possibly reddish stringy (not worms or wormy) matter in some feces in the brooder with my nine 3 & 4 week old chicks. I wanted to treat with...
I have about 30 chicks in my barn and just yesterday I noticed poop that seemed a little bloody. Sure enough i confirmed it to be bloody poop today. (Im used to seeing intestinal shedded poop).
I have Corid and will start, but can someone help me confirm dosage? And would it help at all to feed...
I ordered BO eggs online from the only source I could find at the time. I needed them fast because I wanted to give them to my broody hen. However, I was taking her eggs away every day and she stopped brooding before the eggs arrived. Anyway, because of the urgency, I ordered eggs from across...
Hello,
I have a pullet who was sick about a week ago. I treated her with corid and SafeGuard and she seemed to recover so I put her back with her flock. This morning she has a bad limp in her right leg. There is no obvious injuries - swelling, blood etc. I cant tell what part of her leg is...
im treating the youngest pheasants with cored in water, starting today.
Should I also be giving them anything in the regular food to help them?
We lost 2 young pheasants recently and another one has same symptoms now. So we are starting treatment to prevent any further casualties.
Thanks for...

I had 5 chicks hatch May 25 of this year. I have had zero problems with them until yesterday. I believe they have coccidiosis and I will explain why later in this post. When I noticed them acting lethargic I started Corid treatment, mixing it in their water and I left them alone to drink it. I...
I have 4 chickens that are 14 weeks old. This morning, There was a splatter poop with blood on the ramp into the coop.
There was also bloody splatter under the roosting bar they sleep on.
I went to TSC and bought some corid. Just mixed it into the water: 2 teaspoons into a gallon of...
Hi Everyone,
Arizona resident here, so maybe I can get some input from some Zonies…
I have a cute little 6 month old hen who is getting super lethargic, falling over herself, and being last to all food/waterings throughout the day. We found her in the backyard laying out at night (all the...
I have this 3 month old French Black Copper MaranI got from an auction. I have had him about 11 days. For 5 days it was treated with corid water for cocciadstat and for parasites. The first 3 days he wouldn't eat or drink but I force watered him with an eyedropper. He is now eating and drinking...
