Baby chicks on corid

[Tigergirl8993]

1. Yes, just came from feed store. I got home with chick start plus. They said this was non medicated but I'm wondering if I can give to my baby chicks because at the present time they are on corid and this seems to have certain vitamins in it.

they are on corid and this seems to have certain vitamins in it.

Corid does not have vitamins in it. It has a thiamine inhibitor. That means it prevents the uptake of thiamine in the bird and that ultimately kills off the coccidia in the birds gut.

What is chick start plus? Can you post a picture of it?

Yes

Yes

I would just leave them on this permanently if you can. Put out a container or two of oystershell when they are about 22 weeks old and they're set for life.

Thank you so much I've had chickens for several yrs and never had problems. This has been a bad summer already
