Coccidosis Outbreak in my Flock...

Do you have a food scale that you can with them on? When mine get sick like this I weigh them and give one or two drops of undiluted Corid per 100 grams of body weight orally 1-2 times a day. I do this in addition to their medicated water. If you don't have a scale that's okay, just go ahead and give them a couple of drops.

Hi thank you so much for the response I do not have a scale. I lost another one over the night again total of 3 so far. There is still a great deal of bloody poop. This day 3 with the meds I was just wondering how long till I start see results or if it will keep getting worse? A brooder that had once chick that passed now has 2 left eating and drinking but there was a good of bloody poop in it this morning and the ones that did not eat all yesterday that I thought for sure would pass over night did not. So just a drop of straight corrid they are little silkies so much smaller than all of my other birds. Someone had said something about a sweet bleach method that works as a flush but I'm not sure about it.

Sorry for all of your losses.
I'm treating a very small Old English Game Bantam that weighs 60 grams (2.1 ounces) and it's getting 1-2 drops twice a day and I can't imagine that your chicks weigh much less.

Would you do this along with leaving the waterer for them to be able to drink if they want to or remove the waterer with corrid in it and just put plain fresh water?

I use both. I spoke with someone at the mfg of Corid and they assured me it was quite safe and almost impossible to OD them on.
