Corid and Safegaurd?

[HeatherOhio]

So I have 1 pulled showing signs of coccidiosis, and another with worms. I started the deworming 3 days ago. Corid will be delivered to me today. Question is, can I mix BOTH the Safeguard AND Corid in their water?

@speckledhen helped me when my hen had coccidiosis. Maybe she can help you, too.

You can do both at the same time. If you have liquid Corid, use 2-3 teaspoons in a gallon waterer for 5 days. I've been known to do a full tablespoon, but while deworming, I'd probably not do that. I haven't used Safeguard to worm in a few years and then, I used the paste, but it's a very safe wormer overall. Should not be a problem using both at once. After it's all over, I'd use some probiotics to get the gut health back up to par.

Thank you. I got the powder form of corid....

Do you have photos of the poop and worms?
What symptoms do you see?
How old are your pullets?

Afik, there are no contraindications between Corid (Amprolium) and Safeguard (Fenbendazole), so you can treat with both.

For Poultry - Liquid Corid dose is 2 teaspoons or Powdered Corid is 1 1/2 teaspoons per gallon of water given for 5-7 days as the only source of drinking water. Do not add any Extra supplements or vitamins that contain B1(Thiamine) to feed or water during the course of Corid treatment.

Safeguard (Fenbendazole) comes in liquid (Goat Dewormer) or paste (Equine paste).
For either one of these, dosing is by weight and given orally. These do not mix with water.

For Roundworms only, Safeguard dose is 0.23ml per pound of weight given orally once, then repeated in 10 days.

For other worms that poultry can have including Roundworms, but excluding Tapeworms, Safeguard dose is 0.23ml per pound of weight given orally once a day for 5 days in a row. No repeat.

Wyorp, thanks for popping in for that. I have been busy since I answered the post and just now saw she got powdered.

Sorry just seeing posts. I do not have pics right now. I can post tmr. I gave them a 1/2 teaspoon per 1 gallon of water of corid...I just went off what Google said. Tmr I will do the 1 and 1/2 teaspoons. Thank you. Also another hen has started the same behavior. Standing still, eyes closed, not doing much.

The powdered form is more concentrated so you use about half the amount than when using the liquid, but you really can't overdose with Corid unless you just dump a ton in the water. There are some rare types of agressive coccidiosis that call for stronger doses anyway.
