The instrutions on your bottle are for cattle, not chickens... Chickens get twice the dose of cattle for a severe outbreak.

Cori and Amprol are the same, both are 9.6% Amprolium

Apple cider vinegar should not be used with corid.

Don't worry about the overdose. It is not toxic at that level.

Enola Why is it bad?

Ok that helps a lot. The other birds seem to be doing well. Maybe a little runny poo but they are all still eating and drinking. We are watching them close and sitting out with them each morning as the free range. So they have 1teaspoon and aren't severe. So for a quart of water for the 2 sick birds it would be 1/2 teaspoon?

They are seem better. More active. But one still still has runny poo. Not sure which one it is. Should I keep them separate from the other birds for 5 days?

Don't change anything until treatment is done, which at my house would be 5-7 days.
