Coccidosis soil tx

[Chikitty]

I know there are tons of threads about coccidosis, I've read LOTS of them but I haven't found the answer to.soil treatment.
This spring we have been flooded repeatedly and I tried my best to keep things clean and dry but alas my silkies wound up with coccidosus. I am mid treatment with corid and will follow with rooster booster , supplemts etc. But I need to know how to treat the soil in my run. Ive raked out all the bedding several times but the parasite that causes coccidosis can linger in the soil.for weeks. I have 12 week old juveniles that need out of their brooder. I usually partition off part of the big run until the young ones are big enough to be with the rest then remove the partition. Now I'm afraid of putting them in the run for fear of them becoming infected. What can I do to treat the soil to make it safe? Or how long would I have to wait to put them in?

You don't.
Coccidia oocysts are naturally occurring organisms in the soil. It's normal for chickens to have a certain level of coccidia in their gut biome. It's when the population explodes that they develop coccidiosis.
The best preventive is to keep things dry. If you can get a solid roof over your run to divert the water that would help immensely. But sunshine and wind drying the ground is your best bet.
Additionally, add course, dry organic material like wood chips to permit the area to drain out and keep the birds off the wet soil.

Thank you. Their run does have a roof. This is the first year we have ever had flooding to the coop. It has rained every day or every.other day since the begining of April. It's like a swamp here. I havent been able to cut my grass in over a month. Ive tried keeping things dry. Wood chips, straw etc. I just couldn't change it all out every day. Hopefully this weather pattern changes soon.

How large is your run? Can you post pictures of your setup?
