Coccidia in chickens

[ChickenGeek_101]

So I a flock of 48 chickens, and 3 ducks.
I've lost about 5 or 6 in the last 2-3 weeks. One by one.

The one I lost yesterday, she was a turkin, she had been a little weak for about a month. When I noticed her, I had her separated from the rest of the flock and was giving her some medicated feed, but she lost almost all of her weight, and was so skinny. I did everything I could for her. Shortly after i noticed her another started doing the same thing, but she died just a few days later and for the rest, they were showing the same symptoms just a couple days before they passed.

All of the ones I've lost have been under 6 months old.
I've given them AVC in their water.

Also, if it is Coccidia, Can my 2 month old kittens get coccidia from chickens?

Any advice will be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance

What exactly is everything when it came to trying to save these chickens?
If you suspected coccidia, did you treat them for it?
Some medicated feed won't treat coccidia.

Since treating for coccidiosis will not harm your birds in any way, and since it's what you suspect the problem to be, I'd treat your entire flock with corid immediately. You can buy the liquid corid or powdered. I'd use the directions on the pack for an acute outbreak. This medication is added to the water, so make sure that the treated water is the ONLY water that is available to your flock. This medication mimics a vitamin that the coccidia need to survive thereby starving the parasite; this said, do not supplement your flock with vitamins while treating for coccidiosis, instead add vitamins and nutritional supplements AFTER the full course of treatment to avoid deficiencies in your flock. Your cat would be more bothersome to your chickens than the other way around, disease-wise.

If you are treating with Corid for Coccidiosis, I believe you do not use medicated feed during the treatment time.

I used 2 tsp for a gallon of water (fresh daily) for 7 days. Then followed with probiotics and vitamins.
