Cocci/worms?? lethargic and standoffish

Or another thing..my dad was here over the weekend to let them out, just into the run, we free range as well, and he could have brought a new strain in on his boots!

That video was pretty informative. I dont know why I thought once they had it that they couldnt get it again. I assume with this weather, it just got out of control again.

Great, I am glad you watched it.

Becareful forcing liquids.
By drench I mean that you can mix one half teaspoon of the Corid with two teaspoons of water and give her .34ml (per pound) straight to the beak, by dripping it on the beak.
In addition to the regular mixture.

Very possible.

That's what I did I just dripped it on her. I figured I would muster up some courage if she didn't take the drips to squirt it down, but I didn't need to, thankfully. Editing to say I just gave her the mix that I made for the waterers.

Giving her the water mixture is not what I am talking about though.

If she seems to be drinking the water well enough on her own then it should be ok.

I know I
Hopefully it was enough to start something

Well, pearl survived the night and is eating and drinking, so she is back with her friends. I have not heard the rooster make one single crow yet, which is very odd for his noisy self, since its around noon. I hope that the corid is just working and making everyone a little sad, instead of it being something else.

Corid should not be making them sad.

Are you noticing them drinking the water mixture well?

 

[Mosey2003]

Corid ASAP is always the right choice, coccidia can overwhelm them really fast when it hits (speaking from repeated experience here, sadly).

They're ALL on the Corid water right now, right? They should be.

When you say squirt it down her throat, I hope you mean that you would take a narrow dosing syringe and ensure that you're actually IN the esophagus, and don't mean strongly squirt it in the mouth towards the throat, that's a big no-no. They can aspirate that way.

Hope they all perk up soon.
