Corid for 5 week chicks

[Chicken_man_J]

Notice a little bit of blood in poop. Can I mix corid into their water at 1/2 teaspoon per gallon to prevent coccidiosis in all my chicks? attached in a picture, there was a little more inside the coop on paper. Want to be ahead of it before it gets worse. They are all active and energetic, eating and drinking.

It won't hurt anyone if they don't need it.

Gotcha, how long should I mix the corid with the water?

5 days, new batch every day.

I'm a little confused on your dosage? Treatment dosage is 2 teaspoons per gallon for five days. If you're seeing blood and have coccidiosis concerns, I'd personally give them the full amount.

If you're looking to scale this down for a chick waterer, it works out to a 1/2 teaspoon for 32 ounces of water.
