Just use applecider vinegar! I had a coxccidosis outbreak and lost 5 chicks before I had any idea what was going on.
I added 1.5 tbs ACV to each gallon of drinking water every other day. I also used black walnut hull extract in their waterers every day that they didn't get the ACV.
All my chickens are alert and thriving now.
(I put 1 tbs/gallon of ACV in their waterers on each Friday's waterer fill-up to keep them worm/paracites free.)
I fed my chicks DuMOR starter/grower& then added soybean meal to boost its protein levels.
My 7 chicks get 1.5 cup of cracked corn every day. My oldest pullet has been on layer from 12 weeks until her first egg yesterday.
My 7 layers (& 1 Serama roo) eat Faithway 'Super' Layer (22% protein) free choice, 4 cups Nutrena Country Feeds layer(for some animal protein), 3 cups crk corn, and a small handful of BOSS each day.
I supply each food separately in the coop. (Except the crk corn & BOSS which I scatter for them each morning.)
I definitely plan to continue using the ACV forever. I have a gallon of the stuff by the hose outside where I clean and fill their waterers
