Can chicks get cocci in brand new coop and never been outside?

[ronott1]

I have 2 thermometers, on the babies side it's 80 and the older chicks is 75. I'll start the Corid, no other water right?

Correct, no other water, fresh each day and make sure they are drinking it. If not, then dip their beak into the water. Come back in an hour and do it again. repeat until the chick is drinking.

If they have an Coccidiosis overload, they look better by the next day usually. Keep following the treatments though

Correct...no other water BUT also give them a drench dose straight to the beak asap.

I’m sorry about your chicks and agree Corid is important right now. How do you know you don’t have Teflon coated bulbs? Also, if they are getting any treats at all, they need granite grit. Good luck. I hope you are able to save the rest of them.

Thanks everyone. I treated them all with straight drops of Corrid to the beaks then in their water for 5 days. No one else has died so far. Now I know even chicks I hatch and those never being outside before can get coccidiosis too.

I am happy to hear that everyone is doing good, thank you for the update!
You may want to keep Corid on hand for all future chicks and or birds you bring home.

It is very important to continue with the next 5 day treatment at half dose to build resistance. If you do not, then chances are very high that they will get sick again. I have had that happen

That's a lot of chicks to lose. I would look for some common denominator. What are you feeding? Does the feed smell fresh? What type of heat bulb are you using?

You are brooding in the house? Do you use Teflon coated pans for cooking?

Okay gotta ask Teflon pans?

Teflon pans emit a gas while cooking that is poisonous to birds if they are close in proximity to the kitchen.
