Hey yall..
I've never had a chicken or chick with Coccidiosis.. I don't know 100% it's what my chick has but after all of my research it's my best guess. Yesterday my 4 week old polish chick acted lethargic, and just very droopy. I later found bloody stool and kept a close eye on the chick . Today chick is 100% normal, but I would rather treat as if they have it then not.. Just to be safe! I've seen that most say Corid is the best treatment. Is there anything else I should use with or instead? I also have no idea the proper dosage, please help.
I'm about to head to TSC to pick up what I need. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!!
 
Also if anyone has deworming advice, I would greatly appreciate as well!! That way I can go ahead and pick everything up!
 
Get the Corid liquid if they have it. Dosage is 10 ml (2 tsp) of the liquid or 1 1/2 tsp of the powder per gallon of water for 5-7 days. Treat all of the chicks at once, since it is not harmful to them. For a lethargic chick I would always consider coccidiosis as a possible problem. Make sure they drink the Corid water.
 
You really should not need to worm your chicks for a couple of months. I would wait until they are about 3 months, since you need to toss any eggs for 14 days after worming. I like Valbazen as my favorite, and then SafeGuard Liquid Goat Wormer. Valbazen may be a little easier to find online than at TSC. SafeGuard dosage is 0.23 ml (1/4) ml per pound once given orally and again in 10 days for most worms—roundworms and cecal worms. For capillary or gapeworm it should be used for 5 straight days. Valbazen dosage is 0.08 ml per pound or 1/2 ml for an average grown hen given orally once and repeat it in 10 days.

I just picked up the Corid!! They only had the powdered kind, no liquid in sight. I almost didn't find it as they had all of the bags face down randomly placed on the shelf I'm so glad I was able to pick it up. I don't want to loose any babies! Thank you for your advice!
