Cocci I’m Vaccinated 2 week olds

[Aunna]

I lost a 2 week old chick yesterday. When watching the remaining 16 chicks in the brooder I noted what looked like a blood soaked shaving.

Today I saw lots of bloody stools in the brooder.

I believe we have Cocci, though they were vaccinated. Should I treat with Corid?

Yikes!

What are you feeding?

It's my understanding that medicated feed counteracts the vaccine.

I WOULD treat with Corid ASAP.

Sorry for your loss.

I only feed unmedicated.

They’re being brooded in the coop where we have other chicks ranging from 3-6 months, should I treat the whole flock?

If they are still separated with different water you may not have to. But treating the whole flock will not hurt them. Just be sure not to supplement vitamins during treatment as the Corid mimics thiamine to starve out and slow the growth of the coccidia.

I would treat the whole flock it wouldn’t do any harm
@casportpony knows the dosage I think

Thank you for your quick responses.

Yes, separate fresh water several times a day.

All other members of the flock are free ranging, I expect they have an immunity to it.

would we still be able to eat the eggs?

 

[cleoandtheflock]

Yes the nice thing about corid is you can eat the eggs when they are on it
