Coccidiosis treatment timeline?

[piminuse]

I recently picked up some 5-6 week old chicks from a nearby seller and the day after noticed the telltale signs of coccidiosis in one of the chicks: puffed up feathers, lethargy and bloody/mucus-y poo.

All chicks are now on day 4 of Corid in their water, and while the first chick to exhibit symptoms is doing much better, a number of other chicks who seemed healthy are now showing the symptoms.

Do I continue treating all chicks with Corid until symptoms resolve (tomorrow should be their last day), or should I move onto drench treatment for the chicks who still seem sick?

Have all of the chicks been drinking the treated water normally? What dosage have you been using? The recommended dosage is 2 tsp of the liquid, or 1.5 tsp of the powder per gallon of water for 5-7 days. I would give the chicks who are sick, the drench twice a day, and continue their treatment for a full 7 days, then reduce the amount to 1/3 of the dise for another 7 days.
