For the most part you shouldn’t have to worry about them getting it. But if they do get it Amprolium is commonly used – it’s a liquid that is administered by adding it to the hens’ water supply. However, if your hens are quite sick they may need to take it orally as it’s likely they’re not drinking enough to take in the treatment. Amprolium is available over the counter, but if you have concerns contact your vet for professional advice about how to medicate your flock. It’s likely you’ll have to keep treatment up for about seven days. If the environment that your chickens are kept in is wet, humid, and warm you may need a second dose of treatment to ensure it’s completely eradicated.

Amprolium interferes with the coccidia oocyst’s ability to metabolise vitamin B so you may need to provide your chickens with a vitamin B supplement following treatment – but don’t give them this during treatment as you might render it ineffective.

If it breaks out your flock, or just one of them and your flight gets it, it’s better to treat all of them.
