Chirping
This morning while checking on the 5 week old chicks I noticed a very bloody dropping. (Not on medicated feed). Everyone was acting fine for the most part. I took them one by one and treated with toltrazuril orally because its what I had (brand name is usually baycox, but this is the 5% solution for horses, goats, etc.) Checked everyone over and there was one with a little dried bloody backside who I assume was the first culprit.
Fast forward to this evening and two out of twelve have really messy, bloody behinds and are starting to exhibit the droopy wings and falling over. At this point I just feel like its a waiting game to see if they recover or not but I would like to hope they would! Has anyone had a good outcome after it gets to this point? Hoping i dosed them in time. And will this help create immunity to this coccidia strain if this brood pulls through?
