Administering Corid

[RaptorMom]

I recently had a hen die from what I believe was Coccidiosis. Another member said I should treat the rest of the flock, so I bought a 20% soluable powder Coccidiostat. What I got seems to be for cows, so what kind of dosage would be right for chickens? And do I need to discard eggs while they’re on this stuff?

1.5 teaspoons per gallon for 3-7 days, then 1/3 teaspoon per gallon for 7-14 days.:

No egg withdrawl period for Corid, you can continue to eat the eggs.
