Direct Dosage for liquid Corid?

[chickfused]

I imagine that someday, I will have to treat my chickens for coccidia. They free range though, I don't even have a run for them. However, I can probably manage to dose up each them with a syringe directly for the 5-7 days of treatment though none of us will like it. What's the dosage for chickens of straight Corid liquid?

Corid is meant to give in the water for 5-7 days. It can be given undiluted 0.1 ml per pound orally as a boost, but it needs to be diluted and each chicken needs to drink a normal amount of water.

Thank you for the help. Typically the chickens drink from the bushes, the trees, the downspouts, the creek, the puddles, the garden irrigation, or by simply eating a ton of fruit. I literally cannot control their water or food intake with the facilities I have available to me.

I'm anxious to hear if this works, but not hopeful (not that this matter, I am just voicing my thoughts 😊) Anytime I've administered a direct drench, it's given along with the flock ONLY having access to Corid treated water. The instances involved a death of a flockmate with same signs, the chick being REALLY unwell at the start of treatment or not bouncing back as quickly as the others, in order to give them an extra boost. I wonder if the half life of Corid has anything to do with the directions saying to make sure they ONLY drink this water. Please update this thread if this happens. I really hope you don't run into this because that's an awful thing for chickens to endure.

I don't have anyone sick right now (well, I do, but it's a chick and I have a brooder they're still in so I can control their water), this was more to tuck away in case of future need. Thanks!

I hope your chick recovers fully and quickly ❤️

Just an update: she never got fully well/strong, and something ate her at about 12 weeks. :\
