dead chick : needing advice

[juggojiin]

okay, I figured out the dosage for 9.6 % C to 2 gallons of water: 0.32 fl oz (9.5 mL) CORID to 256 fl oz ( 2 gallons ) of water. Will this dosage be sufficient?

Okay, so the red broilers are treated. Should I treat the rest of my flock, just in case? I have them separated, so should I be worried about it spreading to the rest of the flock?

I would also add ACV to the water and dust the food with diotomacious earth. Just a good cover all for worms

Treat all your chickens. Other birds could spread it between the flocks. Not sure If adding ACV with the Corid would be a good idea.

9 or 10 milliliters per gallon on the 9.6 liquid Corid. I believe, if memory serves. Someone can correct me if I messed that up. There are lots of thread on here giving the formulas. A search will find many posts where it is given.

I buy powder, 20% which is easier to remember. 1/2 teaspoon per gallon.

I give 9.5 ml of the Corid 9.6% solution per gallon of water and that is the dose I have been reading about on BYC for a long time. Works for me!!!

Alright! I got everybody on a Corid regiment. Thanks for all the advice; all the red broilers are active - eatting, drinking, and being chickeny. I was already in the process of increasing their space and allowing them to free range in a protected pen, so this transition will keep them in a cleaner environment. I also adjusted the tarp covering the pen, which provides extra shade. The main problem that caused the coccidiosis was the birds sitting and pooing in their water during the heat last week; I would go out to check on the chicks in the heat of the day, and the watering can full of poopy water and covered in poo. So, with the transition to bigger housing, I am leaving the waterer in their yard with stool over it to cover it, and to prevent the chicks from sitting on top and pooping in the water.

I have not seen any signs of coccidiosis in the rest of my flock, but I am taking preventative measures. I spray my boots with sanitizing bleach spray when I come out of the red broilers' pen, I check around layers' feeding areas and in the main coop for bloody poo, and I have the rest of the flock on a regiment of Corid, as well.

Give thanks!

You can also use nipples you attach to a 5 Gallon bucket, this keeps water clean. I got sick of poo water and swapped over to waterers with nipples. If you use soda bottles wake sure they have an air hole in the bottom to keep them flowing. I drill a hole on the bottom and run rope through it add the nipple to the top and now its ready to go and it is clean water.
