Coccidiosis

[burning51]

Good afternoon everyone, if chickens have coccidiosis , and are in an enclosed area, do the area have to be treated or will the medication be enough? Thanks for the advice.

I do not believe that the run has to be treated with anything, however, it's a good idea to thoroughly clean your coop, and add fresh, dry bedding after any type of outbreak. If you ask @casportpony , she should be able to tell you for sure. Good luck with your flock.
