Coccidiosis in chickens , how much do I use?

[dehowery]

Coccidiosis in chickens I just got Corid 9.6% solution to put in water, this is the one they use for cows, etc. But the co-op told me I could also use this on chickens. According to the directions they talk about 100 lb weight , Obviously chickens don't weight quite that much! Any idea as to how much of this I would use/and what amount of water. One of my young girls has all the symptoms, can't see her sh** to tell if bloody. Really need to find out ASAP.
Please email me @ [email protected] Thank you De

Correct dose for the 9.6% liquid is 9.5ml (or 2 teaspoons) per gallon of water. Mix fresh daily, make sure the medicated water is the only water they have access to during treatment. Treat for 5-7 days. You can safely treat all the birds at once, Corid is very safe. If the bird is too sick to drink on it's own you can drip some of the solution on the end of the beak and get her to swallow it or put in a spoon and dip the beak in that. After treatment is complete offer vitamins for a few days (do not give vitamins during treatment as it may reduce the effectiveness of the medication) and probiotics to get the gut back in balance.

My new chicken is suffering from coccidiosis too. I wrote a thread on it yesterday, and although it was more suited towards my chickens, you might get some help from it. You can find it on my page. It's called
