Corid dosage for the 20% soluble coccistat powder to 1 gallon water?

[kmom08]

@Eggcessive I can't thank you enough! I was so worried that I was going to come home from work to a dead baby, She was so weak that I ended up giving her the 2 drops before work and look at what I found when I came home! She's much more alert. She even wanted some lap time. Now if I can just get my injured girl back up on her feet. She too seems to have perked up having one of her sisters with her. Both of these girls will continue on the corid water as well as the girls still outside.

She's too lethargic I couldn't get her to drink much so I ended up giving her the two drops mixed stronger. Hopefully it works. Heading out for work, luckily I'm working a short shift tonight.

She should drink better tomorrow. Keep working at getting her to drink the corid water

You need to follow the instructions for treating 7 days and then the followup dosage for another 7 days at the lower concentration.

Thank you. I wasnt aware I had to do a follow up dose.

What about probiotics and vitamins? Should I do them in between or at the end of the lower dose round? I have 3 types of probiotics on hand...
1. Save a Chick probiotic
2. Probios
3. Rooster Booster vitamins, electrolytes with probiotic.

Additional vitamins on hand are...
poultry cell and a bottle of rooster booster b12 (was using vitamins with my injured girl but read the corid won't allow them to work)

Any advice is greatly appreciated.

No vitamins until after you finish the round of Corid.

Any advice on my run as well? I raked and scraped the run floor. We have more rain coming but I plan to have a load of sand delivered when it dries up. I haven't started free ranging them yet because of their size I don't want them squeezing through my front gate. I also didn't expect them to clear the grass from the run as quickly as they did.

I did a thorough clean of the house and will do so again to keep from reinfecting.

A bale of hay can be thrown in the run for now to help keep them up off the ground.
Think deep litter method.

I wouldn't worry too much about them becoming reinfected.
They are suppose to build up a tolerance to it after they get it the first time.

Thank you. I'm definitely getting a crash course in chickens this time around. I put pine shaving in the wettest part of the run the other day because that's all I had on hand. I'll pick up a few bales of hay at the co-op.

They usually get coccidiosis from the water. I use water nipple water fountains and have not had an outbreak in years

I've thought about trying the nipple waterer in the house, but I always used a regular waterer in the run set up on a concrete block to keep it off the ground for my last flock. Right now the block is too high for these girls to use yet so I'm just using regular small square blocks to keep it off the ground. We get a couple months of freezing temperatures so I don't think the nipple waterer would work out well in the run. They are quite messy at this age, so I have had to clean them daily and sometimes 2 or 3 times a day.
