Hello!! So just trying to be of help while trying to help my chicken. So here are some things i just found on the web:
How do you treat coccidiosis naturally?
Numerous plant-based products have been found to be effective at treating chicken coccidiosis: Artemisia annua and artemisinin, oregano, garlic, neem, different species of Aloe, green tea, sugar cane, turmeric and many others
What causes coccidiosis in chickens?
Coccidiosis is caused by a microscopic parasite called coccidia that is transmitted via the droppings from infected birds. In other words, anywhere there's a microscopic trace of bird poop—in a waterer, a feeder, or in bedding—there's almost certainly coccidia present.
What are the symptoms of coccidiosis?
Clinical signs include mucus-like or bloody diarrhea, dehydration, anemia, listlessness, ruffled feathers, stunted growth, and death. Coccidiosis is also commonly associated with a drop in egg production.
Can coccidiosis kill chickens?
But, unfamiliar coccidia, high levels of coccidia or other health issues can cause chickens to exhibit signs of coccidiosis, which is a severe coccidia infection that can cause illness and death. When coccidiosis becomes a problem, if is a big problem. It can spread rapidly through a flock and cause death within days.
Will coccidia go away on its own?
It is not uncommon for very young puppies and kittens to contract coccidia, but the infection will usually go away without treatment. However, some animals do not fight it off on their own, and will require a vet's assistance.
How is coccidiosis treated?
The most popular treatment for coccidiosis is Amprolium, which blocks the parasite's ability to uptake and multiply. Treatment is usually administered by adding Amprolium to the chickens' water supply, however in some cases, where sick chickens aren't eating or drinking enough, the medication is given orally.
Hope this helps!! Good luck!!
(Also, if you have any other chickens/chicks i would isolate the two Silkies so this doesn't spread.)
