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

[Doug Hodges]

Doug-how are the chicks? They should perk up almost as fast as the cocci takes them down. As warm as it is they should be drinking quite a bit. Just give them fresh mixed in the morning and maybe in the evening depending on how fast they go thru it.

Havent been home. Hoping everyone is doing fine.

Crap again. I left it out and my wife saw the price.

At least it's money for drugs for the chickens and not for you. It could be worse. Tell her you like that natural chicken high you get when doing chicken math!!!

All chickens are drinking. It's real hot today. The ones that seem weak I have been forcing to drink more. I've noticed some more funky poop. I've cleaned the inside brooders. Now gotta clean the outside one.

I need help with which incubator to put my new arrival eggs in. I have two incubators - one has Day 14 eggs in it and by the time I get the new eggs the second incubator will have Day 4 eggs in it. Which bator should I put the new eggs in? Day 4 or 14 bator? Thanks!

Thanks, Oz!

It seems to be going through the chicks. But they aren't dying. I notice a different one seems sick. I make it drink. Then later another one seems sick. I make it drink. And it continues.

how long does it take to make them better with the medicine

Quote: The ones I didn't treat died quickly. These are either getting better slowly or at worst are holding their own. I lost 6 total, but one of them could of been something wrong with it from the hatch. I know a few are improving from deaths door, but others are showing signs. It seems the little chicks are doing better than the older ones. I am going to have to clean the outside pens. That's going to be a chore. I need to clean it and spread it out in the sun. The sun kills coccid

What dosages are you giving? My dosage is as follows:
6 ml/cc in 1 litre/1 quart water for 7 days THEN put 1.5ml/cc in 1 litre/quart of water for 2 weeks.  Hope it isn't back.

I just picked up a new bottle of Corid from my vet today as I just had a chick die of what I suspect was cocci, and the dosage is 6 cc/ gallon for 5-7 days as their only source of water. My last bottle was to treat adults, and the dose was 1 teas./gallon for the same amount of days. I don't know if 6 cc's equals 1 teaspoon or if the dosage is less for little ones.
