Thank you, how often should I deep clean with ammonia? Everyday? I am cleaning and replacing paper towels a few times a day, trying to minimize ground contact with dropped poop.
I would not clean with ammonia at all. Just rinse with diluted bleach water, dry, and replace paper towels. As long as you're replacing them a few times a day, I'd maybe do a good clean once every morning.
Ok will do. Do I need to worry about this later in the road. I assume all chickens housed outside carry a form of coccidia? Once these are treated am I fine to eventually introduce them to the rest of the flock?
Likely not, but any chickens can get it. Warm, moist, soiled environments are the highest risk. Most chickens that are established outside have already built up an immunity to it though. Yes - they will be fine to join the flock once they are all better!
Thank you so much for the help. I just want to give them the best at life.
Absolutely! Keep updating us here on how they're doing.
The chick is a frizzle silkie so can that be the reason?
Could be a few things. I'd start a new thread for the wry neck, and make sure that you mention it's a silkie, the Coccidiosis, the other issue from same seller, etc.
