MEDICATING FOR COCCIDIOSIS
Only when you see your chicks humped up with ruffled feathers standing alone in the corner, only drinking water they have started to get coccidiosis
this is only after they have been put on new soil
there are 9 kinds of coccidiosis germs
so every place may have different coccidiosis germs present
generally they do not get it in brooder
but you can carry it into them by handling sick chicks
or they get it when put in the brooder house and walk where sick chicks have walked or on soil
DO NOT medicate for coccidiosis IF your birds do not have symtoms of coccidiosis
It is very hard on them and will only cause them to be resistant to the medication when you need it
