Coccidiosis??

[CassandraP]

I am suspecting that some of our 3 week old Cornish cross has coccidiosis. Most are acting ok just have one theis lethargic and we are forcing fluids. They have been on the medicated chick starter. That being said I can’t find anyone who has corid is stock... my bad for not planning ahead and having it we are new at this whole meat chicken thing. Is there anything that I can do until I am able to get corid for them? Cleaning and sanitizing and new bedding is being put down. Any advice is greatly appreciated!

Give them buttermilk in their feed, make it liquidy. The buttermilk will coat their intestinal lining slowing the effects of coccidiosis until you get the corid.
You might also consider buying a sulfa drug such as sulfadimethoxine or SMZ-TMP. The latter would probably be easier to buy.
