Diary & Notes ~ Air Cell Detatched SHIPPED Chicken Eggs for incubation and hatching

[Doug Hodges]

Yes, that's what I meant, sorry. I'm trying to find more details on the symptoms... uh oh: "Dehydration may accompany cecal coccidiosis."

Doug, have you got any corid?

ETA: sorry I was replying to your earlier post about their heads drawn back.

I don't have anything and nothing is open until 10. I wont be able to get anything until after church. What should I try to find. Orchelin is the only thing open today. No feed stores are open.

Doug, we're tripping over each other now LOL Have you got any Corid? That is the best and quickest treatment for coccidiosis. Separate the sick ones asap and as the others show symptoms separate them as well and get them on meds quick. Medicated starter helps prevent it, but apparently it's not a guarantee, they can still get it.

I would rather over medicate for everything under the sun than lose any more chicks. I have my turkeys with these too. I would hate to lose them.

Ill look today. Anything else I should try to get?

Sulmet, but it's not as effective and it's very hard on them. Look at the milk flush thread I linked above. Milk helps sooth their intestines as does plain yoghurt. I hope that helps!

I read the whole thread. Im hoping orchelin has what I need, Otherwise, Ill be doing some mixing of feed and milk.

To me it looks like dry milk and medicated feed mixed together at a 50/50 mix is the ticket. Is that how you see it?

 

[Doug Hodges]

Should I add regular milk to the water in the meantime?

I hate changing the subject but these little ones are cute.
