Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

@Pastel the Rooster I agree about treating for coccidiosis as soon as you're able to, but at that age the "honking" you mentioned the d'Uccle has recently started doing is probably totally normal. It's a phase they go through before they get their grown-up chicken voices. Some are more honky than others.

My little Cookie is a tad slow developing and just started honking.
Sooo cute!!

@TOMTE Is the narrow height a new model? I haven’t seen that before. Cozy Products makes a taller one, 23”long x13” high, and it uses a bit more watts, 200. I have a few of those.

I think it's a new model? I'm not sure. I've never had one before

I think that I’ll probably give all of them corid, but I won’t be able to give it to them until Friday. I’m not sure if Taffy will be okay, since she is pooping blood.

Besides, the medicine I do have is expired… so maybe that isn’t the best choice, although it worked better than Corid IMO. View attachment 4260675

I am a bit late catching up. You got lots of good advice but I didn’t see anyone comment on what this bottle you got from the vet actually is.
It contains sulfadimethoxine.
It is absolutely indicated for treating coccidiosis and is a broad spectrum antibiotic.
As such, I think maybe once you start it you should complete a several day course of it rather than switch over to Corid. But I will defer to @BY Bob on whether it is OK to use sulfadimethoxine just once or better to complete a course.
The product info says 5 days and gives dosage. Screen shot here and link attached below.

Thru out history, the English have always hated the French. I hope my new birds aren’t FBCM’s

Hey no politics here! Plus, get your joke straight, lol
There didn’t appear to be any foot feathers with that latest pic, so not French BCM

Yes, good info here @Pastel the Rooster
I agree with RC, so my approach then would be to do the full course of the banana paste if you do start it. Corid and this act in completely different ways, one is an antibiotic and the other if I remember right denies the uptake of B vitamins by the cocci so it starves them.

If you do start it, evaluate as it goes along, she should improve within a few days, and try to finish the course. If she gets worse though, consider taking her to a vet. If she stays the same without getting worse, finish and re-evaluate then.

Watch the other chooks. Maybe she is particularly vulnerable, but generally if one has Coccidiosis, the others will show soon too.

By the way, you can get Corid powder to have on hand which will keep, generally three years or so from the manufacture date, even when the bag is opened.

How does an antibiotic work against cocci? Somehow in the reproductive cycle?
