Did I misdiagnose coccidiosis?

The only reason flocks are being destroyed is when they test positive for Avian influenza.

If they do have AI, they will die, there is no cure.

What dosage are you using?

one teaspoon per half gallon

Is there no hope once they show symtoms? I lost three now and three more showing signs. Starts with lethargy and not eating, dead in a day. Ive never been so frustrated in my life.

Chickens showing signs of coccidia do recover when treated IF the internal damage is not too extensive. What are you treating your birds with?

liquid Corid. There may be a light at the end of the tunnel, no not train headlights, at this moment they are all asymptomatic. I am cautiously optimistic.

You can use 1.5 to 2 tsp for that amount of water with severe outbreaks, which is what seems to be the case. Are they all drinking?

Thank you for your reply Michael, I actually did bump up the dose to two tsp. Seems like I didnt have much to lose.


Still lost half though.

Thanks for the update. I had to tube feed mine with coccidia because they didn't feel good enough to eat. It's been 3 weeks and starting to see improvement in one of the 2. Coccidia has been hard to get rid of.

When you say you lost half, how many? Coccidia multiplies fast in the warm season, especially in humid environments. Young birds (up to 9 months) seem more susceptible. How are the surviving birds doing?
