So, Hello I'm new here and new to chickens. I have my first chicks on order from Cackle Hatchery. I was reading the brooder set up instructions today and it says Medicated feed isn't enough to prevent coccidia. That you need to dose Corid in the water, but you can not give vitamins with it because it negates the corid. So I've seen in a lot of places and planned on doing Savachic electrolytes and vitamins in the water for the first week or so. So now I dont know what to do. Should I do the savachic and just have corid on hand in case? I dont want to mess up. And can day old chicks come from the hatchery with coccidia? I was a vet tech for many years. (Granted my clinic didnt see chickens) but i know animals get coccidiosis from ingesting contaminated food, water, soil or stool. So how could a bunch of newly hatched chicks be exposed to adult stool in the conditions they are hatched in? On the eggs they hatch from I guess? This last question isnt a big deal I'm just curious. I really just need to know which holds precedence the electrolytes and vitamins to start with or the corid? Thank you so much in advance.
