I believe you should be able to get it at a North 40 or a TSC, if you have one nearby.

I'm noticing the same thing online... the instructions are for calves... maybe someone else will chime in. Otherwise, here's a dosage chart.

You can get it at Tractor Supply or your local feed store. It comes in powdered form or liquid. A picture of both and how to dose for chickens is in the following link.

[MrsBrooke]

1.5 teaspoons (NO LESS) of the 20% powder per gallon

OR

2 teaspoons of the 9.6% liquid per gallon

Give for 5-7 days... make sure this is the ONLY water they can access during treatment. Mix new at least once a day.

Corid has cross-species use, so it can be used for rabbits, goats, cattle, poultry, et al, as long as you have the correct dosage.

Ok I took more pics today. I don't see any liquid blood, it's more the color and consistency of pulverized liver .

I would run Corid through their water immediately... if nothing else, as a precaution. I see an awful lot of bright red in there, and while it COULD be intestinal shedding, there's quite a bit of it, and it's really bright.

Treat your entire flock with it as soon as possible!

1.5 teaspoons powder OR 2 teaspoons liquid per gallon of water, 5-7 days, and make sure it's the ONLY water they can access during treatment.

Hopefully, the red will clear up.
