Can Corid & Safeguard AQUASOL both be mixed in water at same time?

I know you didn't ask about this but... Are you aware that each state has a state lab that will perform a necropsy on a dead bird?
A necropsy will give you a reason for death.


What exactly do you feed your flock? I ask about what you feed because something like fatty liver disease will kill a bird quickly... Without any symptoms.

Way quicker than something like coccidiosis or tapeworms.

Save this for the future...just in case.

How are things going?

Thanks for checking in! I’m hopeful and optimistic. No one else is showing they’re sick, but so far it hasn’t been obvious until they’re not doing well at all. I worry about my Silkie roo because his comb is darker/more dull than normal, but he is eating and drinking and moving around normally. I was able to administer the ivermectin paste and will do the second dose as suggested. It took a a few days to get the Endocox so I started with the stronger dose of Corid and switched over. Cleaning up poop like crazy but still seeing green diarrhea. Hoping for the best! Thanks for your help!

This right?

Hopefully they will all improve with the treatments. Glad they are still hanging in there.

Can I be annoying and ask how one might measure treating 8 week old chicks with Equimax as well?
I have 20 birds 8 weeks old, and they live in a separate coop/run alongside my bigger birds’ coop/run.
I did not treat them with Equimax like my larger flock because all their poop has been normal and their living space not shared (I did treat with Endocox in water in case).
Today I noticed something that looked like possible tapeworm shape in several pieces of stool while cleaning. Nothing moving around, but the longer tape worm like shapes covered in sand. My coops and runs are all sand.
Assuming I should treat them to be safe, but not sure how to go about treating a bird that might weigh 1.5lbs with something at 0.03 per lb and 1ml syringes. I mean…I can generally fill between the tiny lines well enough, but do you think I have to worry about overdosing??
Help please! And thank you!!

I don’t know how I missed this! Thanks for sharing!
I have researched this for my state just recently.
If another one dies I will preserve its body as needed and do it. I buried the others before I knew this was an option.
I feed my birds Scratch and Peck brand. The starter/grower crumbles or layer pellets based on age. I have never once fed them a treat or scraps of any kind, even though that was my original thought (have read a lot of conflicting things since then).
When I have run out before I get more in the mail, I use Purina Organic crumbles or pellets from TSC.

One more thing…have you heard of Wormer Deluxe Powder from Jedd’s bird products? Might be easier to treat 20 young birds with this in water than using the paste and weighing….but have not found reviews about it being effective.
