Our two month old chicks have been eating medicated chick starter since we got them at 2 days old.
Today one of them started acting lethargic, broody, and was pooping blood so we took them to the vet and it was confirmed she has coccidia. It's not a very severe case, apparently we caught it right as it was beginning to start, so we are starting to medicate them with Corid today.
My question is can they still be eating the medicated chick feed or should we be feeding them something else because I believe I've read before that one will cancel out the other.
I also would like to know is it going to be okay if we go ahead and medicate everyone else, including our big birds that are in a separate coop.
