Corid dosage

[Janice Fields]

Can I give chickens liquid corid orally using syringe. If so, what would the dosage be per chicken.
Thanks

Liquid Corid needs to be mixed with water first...then the "water mixture" can be given by syringe, but it is safest to allow them to drink the mixture on their own.
One drop forced down the wrong pipe could end up with a dead bird.

How many chickens do you have?
and What ages?

Welcome to BYC. Corid is given is meant for giving in the water, since they will drink the correct dosage. For an outbreak of coccidiosis, I would use 2 tsp or 10 ml of the liquid Corid per gallon of water. If you have an especially sick one, then you could give them 2 drops of undiluted Corid twice a day until they start drinking well.
