Hey guys!! Need help.
I think one of my 12 week old chicks has Coccidiosis. She has some blood in her droppings, ruffled feathers, kind of pale?
But she still wants to eat and drink a little bit. Also when I took her away from mom she kept chirping her butt off. So idk if it is actually Coccidiosis.
Can I treat for it just in case it is? Do I need to treat all the chicks as well? It's only one chick showing any symptoms or acting funny.
So I have no idea if it's Coccidiosis or not. Their droppings aren't like full on blood either so.. no idea. I'll post pics just incase anyone can identify if it is or not based on pics. I'll try to get better pics didn't realize they weren't that good. She also has that yellowish clear droppings as well don't know if that's related. She was in my house when I took the pics lol.
The chicks are in a shed in the chicken run BUT the older chickens can't go near them. It's blocked off. Do I treat the older chickens as well?? I also have ducks and geese and turkeys that share the run with the older birds. Idk if I would have to treat them too.
If I do have to treat, I bought Amprol 128. Is it the same dose as corid? Is there a dose for smaller batches of water? I don't have a gallon bucket or waterer lol. Or can I just give it to them by mouth? If so what are the measurements for that?
Last thing, can I still feed the chicks their medicated chick feed during dose or do I switch to adult all flock feed? I've heard chick feed reverses the Amprol/Corid ... I hope not lol.
Sorry it's alot ♀. Please help tho! Thanks!!
