I lost another 7 chicks today. I have 5 left and they are acting halfway normal. I think the Corrid was given a lot too late to save them. I hope the remaining chicks survive.

Run to the store to get some!I've raised chickens for about 16 years and never had them get sick. Of course I looked around on the internet and errything looked like cocci Not positive that's what it is but I wanted to try something so I started Corrid.
Hi @yeye5Can stress also leave the youngsters open to infection? I noticed in 2 of my youngsters that recently move from indoors to outdoors suspicious looking poop. I have "Wazine-17" here. Is that equally good to use?
I'd like to treat all of the newly moved birds as is being suggested on this thread. Ideally though I'd not like to retreat the adults. Is the only way to accomplish that to separate them again?
I just got home and added wazine to the water. Unreal! I should have checked that before going out.Hi @yeye5
Can you post some photos of the poop?
Wazine-17 is a de-wormer (for roundworms only), it will not treat Coccidiosis. Symptoms of Cocci include lethargy, going off feed, diarrhea with mucous or blood and the birds have a fluffed up/disheveled appearance.
Corid (Amprolium) is a Coccidiostat that treats an overload of Cocci.
