Corid20%?

[CMMChickens]

Unfortunately, we just got confirmation of coccidiosis. My local store only carries the corid 20% powder. I don't want to wait until Monday to treat so can I just adjust the dosage to use with chickens? Also, the chickens are about 22 weeks. Anyone know how long you have to withdraw eggs ill owing the treatment with corid if they start laying? Thank you!

I think 13 days after treatment.

20% powder is fine. 1.5 teaspoons per gallon for 5-7 days, no egg withdrawal with Corid (amprolium).

FYI, the dose for cattle is 3/4 teaspoon per gallon, so ignore the instructions on the pack.
