they are soooo cute....

Oh too adorable. I hope you get on top of this nasty virus.

What a cutie pie!!

Just to make sure...they are also drinking the Corid water in addition to you direct dosing, right?
Sometimes, that part gets missed

Yes, the only water they have is the Corid-water. Their feed is also medicated. And I was able to get several drops of straight Corid into each of them. They were not impressed.
Thanks again!

Got my little buffs on corid today, they are still so happy and full of life,,,,hope this cures this ugly issue

Glad to hear that your chicks seem fine. My chicks seem to be much better as well. No blood in their poops today. I individually dosed them a couple drops each in addition to the Corid water for three days now. I cleaned the heck out of the brooder pen that gave them the coccidia. Now I have to put them back out there. Makes me nervous, but they’re too messy to keep on the porch any longer.

i just have the corid in their water,,i did not individually dose...did find one bloody poop but today was the first day....how much powder did you use in a gallon of water,,,,is it 1/2 tsp or 1-1/2 tsp in gallon of water

For the direct dosing... I’ve been tricking some of my older chickens I’m treating with Baytril (I assume it tastes as bad as it smells!) into eating it by soaking a very small chunk of dry pita bread with the meds then coating it with smelly salmon pate cat food... maybe make little smelly medicine balls so you’re less unpopular with them?

Best wishes! coccidiosis is nasty, and you’re probably going to spend the next month carefully examining all their droppings even once you’ve beat it (just to be sure), I know I did!

Sounds like a great idea. My chicks are so young that they haven’t had any treats yet. Just medicated feed. But I will keep that trick in mind if my older chix need medication!
