Chicks are passing left and right, urgent, help!

The above is the correct dosing for Corid.
The break down/formulation is in the link below.

https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/updated-corid-and-amprol-amprolium-dosing.818879/

From what I have researched and calculated, I feel that information is incorrect.

It also coincides with the other breeds passing away days "after" they drank the medicated water.

The manufacturers dosage for "treatment" is 1tsp per gallon for calves.

They also include this dosage instruction:

Daily Dosage Formula

Use the formulas below to calculate the individual daily dosage based on animal body weight. (NOTE: there are 96 mg of amprolium in every I mL of CORID 9.6% Solution.)

5-Day Treatment Formula: body weight in lb ÷ 2.2 kg X 10 mg ÷ 96 Daily Dosage (mL of CORID 9.6%)

Given that formula in a "hypothetically " situations for 5lbs of total poultry the calculations would be:

5lb ÷ 2.2 kg × 10 mg ÷ 96

Therefore, the correct individual daily dosage for an animal weighing approximately 5 pounds would be approximately 0.01075 milliliters of CORID 9.6% Oral Solution.

I should have researched prior which is on me.
In the future if I ever run into a coccidiosis problem I will treat by the manufacturers dosage.

I understand that, that is why I calculated it by the formula they provided given the weight.

So I guess my next question is... are any eggs laid... safe to eat while administering antibiotics? Or do their bodies filter that out?

The medication you have posted in the photo is Amprolium (Corid), it's a Coccidiostat, used to treat Coccidiosis only. It's not an antibiotic. There's no withdrawal period when using the correct dosing of Amprolium.

Ah, I see, you posted another photo. Yes...Amoxicillin is an antibiotic. Since this is vet prescribed, call or email your vet and ask what the withdrawal period is. Most antibiotics are used off label. General rule of thumb is 14 days after the last dose but do your research and ask your vet to be sure.
