Chicks Exposure to Coccidiosis

[Tiffany295]

We have 5 young chicks (6 weeks) that we free ranged in our garden with our neighbor’s young chicks. They went out of town, so I figured we’d let them all hang out together. Now, 2 days after my neighbor came back to tend to their birds, one of her chicks is pooping blood. Seems like she thinks it’s Coccidiosis. My chicks were definitely exposed to the other chick on a few occasions for a few hours. One of my chicks is struggling and recovering from Wry neck. She’s small and I’m giving her selenium and vitamin E. The chicks all eat organic scratch and peck starter feed, some occasional dried black soldier fly larvae too.

What can I do besides ACV in their water and feeding them hard boiled yoke to help them fight potential Coccidiosis?

I would buy Corid from TSC. It says use only for cattle, but it worked very well for my entire flock! (you can buy a “poultry Corid”, but if you look at the ingredients, they are identical. And it’s faster to buy directly from TSC) I’m not sure what the best dosage for younger chicks would be, but 1 teaspoon (or maybe slightly less) per gallon should be a safe bet.

Lovely little splash pullet (I think ) in your picture.

I am thinking initially mine are safe, as here they get outside starting their 2nd day, so I'd think yours being used to being in the garden would be too. However, if a chicken with cocci was near my chicks, I'd buy Corid and have it ready for the first sign of it. Your chick on selenium and Vit E should be okay on it too. It blocks B not the rest.

Corid dosage, if you wind up giving it to them:

 

[coach723]

If you see symptoms of lethargy, sitting fluffed up, not eating or drinking normally, runny or mucousy, or bloody droppings, those are signs of coccidiosis and treatment should be started as soon as possible. Not all strains of coccidia will cause blood in the droppings, so runny or mucousy alone can be a symptom. Use the severe case dosing in the chart above. Corid is very safe and will not do any harm. If one gets sick, treat all of them that are kept together. Coccidiosis is very common in chicks, coccidia are everywhere.

Acv and egg yolks won't do anything, you need corid if they show symptoms.
Coccidia are everywhere.
Don't forget the b complex for your wry neck bird

Thanks. She’s a splash Maran. Her feathers are coming in so beautiful, and she’s becoming one of my sweeter ones. I really want her to stay well.

The chicks are way too young for these treats.
Feeding these treats daily can be part of the reason your one bird is suffering from wry neck.
Wry neck is caused by not getting a balanced diet.
You birds need a balanced diet to grow properly.
The balanced diet is the crumbled chick feed...by itself.


Save treats for once a week when the birds are full grown.



GET CORID today.
Birds can die from coccidiosis quick.
Having coccidiosis can ruin their intestines and cause life long issues with the absorption of nutrition.

Should I treat my “older” hens and roo too? I have 4 layers, 2 13-week-old hens and a 1: week old roo. We just started integrating the two “flocks” a couple days ago.
