You are right. Now I have to figure out how I came up with mine and water down their water. Oh wait, you know I think I got those directions from someone on here. Gah....I dont know. I'll fix it though. Ty so much.

It gets better!

The consensus (after 4 hours of research) seems to be 2 teaspoons per gallon of the liquid 9.6%.

24 hours later and my girl is skipping and singing! I will keep it in their water for about a week.

WOW....what a relief.

CORID is the bomb.

This is an older post, but I just want to shout out a THANK YOU for the 1/2 tsp per gallon of water treatment for the 20% soluble powder (Corid)!! Our local agriculture supply stores hardly carry anything for chickens or ducks, but they do carry the Corid in 20% soluble powder for cattle...after doing some research, it's the same stuff, just slightly more potent. Hoping it works!!

I allowed my 19 new chicks to move into the Silkie/Polish coop...I have 2 Silkie's and 1 Bantam Cochin that LOVE chicks!! Well, they were doing a good job, but the chicks weren't 'allowed' to get to the medicated chick feed...and it would seem they have cocci. Grr. I lost 3 of them - 1 Red Silkie pullet, 1 Black Bantam Cochin Frizzle and a Speckled Sussex. Here's to hoping Corid is AMAZING!!

Thanks again!! You guys are incredible!!

I know this is an old thread, but since it was referenced in another thread I thought I should add this:

Listed below are the doses recommended the mfg's and the FDA

The severe outbreak dose (.024%) for Corid Powder is 1.5 teaspoons (4.536 grams).
The severe outbreak dose (.024%) for Corid liquid is 2 teaspoon.

The moderate outbreak dose (.012%) for Corid Powder is 3/4 teaspoon (2.268 grams).
The moderate outbreak dose (.012%) for Corid liquid is 1 teaspoon.

The .006% dose for Corid Powder is 1/3 teaspoon (1.134 grams).
The .006% dose for Corid liquid is 1/2 teaspoon.

FDA recommendations:
http://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/animaldrugsatfda/details.cfm?dn=013-149
"Chickens
Indications: For the treatment of coccidiosis.
Amount: Administer at the 0.012 percent level in drinking water as soon as coccidiosis is diagnosed and continue for 3 to 5 days (in severe outbreaks, give amprolium at the 0.024 percent level); continue with 0.006 percent amprolium-medicated water for an additional 1 to 2 weeks."

And this link has these instructions:
http://www.drugs.com/vet/amprol-9-6-solution-can.html
"Poultry - as Soon As Caecal Coccidiosis Is Diagnosed, Give 0.024% Amprolium In The Drinking Water For 5 To 7 Days. Continue The Treatment With 0.006% Amprolium Medicated Water For An Additional One To Two Weeks. No Other Source Of Drinking Water Should Be Available To The Birds During This Time."

Amount of Amprolium (Corid or Amprol) liquid per 1/4 teaspoon
​

• One 1/4 teaspoon = 120 mg
• 1/2 teaspoon = 240 mg
• 3/4 teaspoons = 360 mg
• 1 teaspoon = 480 mg
• 1 & 1/4 teaspoons = 600 mg
• 1 & 1/2 teaspoons = 720 mg
• 1 & 3/4 teaspoons = 840
• 2 teaspoons = 960 mg

There are 4.92892ml/teaspoon, but the numbers above were calculated using 5ml/teaspoon

​

Here is what's in 1-10ml of the liquid

• 1ml = 96mg
• 2ml = 192mg
• 3ml = 288mg
• 4ml = 384mg
• 5ml = 480mg
• 6ml = 576mg
• 7ml = 672mg
• 8ml = 768mg
• 9ml = 864mg
• 10ml = 960mg

1/2 teaspoon of 20% powder = 2.8125ml of 9.6% liquid - Both have 270mg of amprolium.
3/4 teaspoon of 20% powder = 4.21875ml of 9.6% liquid - Both have 405mg of amprolium.
1 teaspoon of 20% powder = 5.625ml of 9.6% liquid - Both have 540mg of amprolium.
1.5 teaspoons of 20% powder =8.4375ml of 9.6% liquid - Both have 810mg of amprolium.
1.75 teaspoons of 20% powder = 9.84375ml of 9.6% liquid - Both have 945mg of amprolium.
2 teaspoons of 20% powder = 11.25ml of 9.6% liquid - Both have 1080mg of amprolium.
