Coccidia

[Adoravachick]

Well, this morning I discovered that one of our 7 week old buff orp chicks has coccidia. She is in a pen with another Orp, a d'uccle, and a silkie. What now? While the flock is still in their coop, I allow for the babies to used the flocks run. Do I need to treat the flock as well? Does the run require a bedding change? I read somewhere that powdered milk will clean out the chicks system to prep for the corid? What EXACTLY do I need to get?

Thanks!

corid or sulmet.corid is supposed to be easier on them.i treated mine for seven days.use your search bar on this sight and it will give you lots of information on cocci.and yes treat your whole flock.i found corid at my local southern states.tractor supply also carries it.
