In addition to buttermilk as an excellent probiotic, it coats intestinal lining preventing further damage by coccidiosis until corid can be given. Buttermilk will help strengthen her immune system. Yogurt has a tendency to pass through them. The rice settles the digestive tract as @coach723 stated and is easily digested than feed. Rice looks like maggots and chickens will scoff it up which helps strengthen her. You can also mix feed into the mixture if you wish, it wiil absorb buttermilk, but not as quickly as rice.I will be doing her float test tomorrow for sure.
So only do the rice n buttermilk now? Sorry, I got confussed on that... Like, remove her crumble while offering the rice mix or just giver her some now, than again after treatment?
And thank u for the advise
