Granny's gone and done it again

My problem is I find shoes at yard sales, and really like them wear them for 5 years+, and then I can't figure out what off brand they are...

@microchick, how much Corid should I give each bird as a direct dose?

I'd give a few drops for medium sized birds. I usually just saw how much I could squirt into a moving target and consider myself lucky if I got a few drops in. Yeah, not real scientific but it seemed to work okay. The AI on Brave browser says this:

For a bolus treatment of coccidiosis in chickens using Corid (amprolium), the recommended dosage depends on the severity of the outbreak. For a severe outbreak, administer Corid at a concentration of 0.024% in the drinking water for 3 to 5 days. This equates to 2 teaspoons of the 9.6% liquid solution per gallon of water. For a moderate outbreak, use 1 teaspoon per gallon for 3 to 5 days. After the initial treatment period, continue with a post-treatment dose of 0.006% amprolium for an additional 1 to 2 weeks to prevent recurrence. This post-treatment dose is 1/2 teaspoon of the 9.6% liquid per gallon. During the entire treatment period, ensure that chickens have access only to the medicated water and no other source of drinking water. Fresh medication should be prepared daily to maintain efficacy.

But it doesn't talk about a one time bolus treatment for a single bird. I read it somewhere here on BYC and it said that it seemed to jump start treatment for them.

I'd go with a few drops at the most and then follow up with the regular water treatment. No less than two and no more than 3 drops. 2 if the bird is smaller, 3 if medium size.

Leo the AI is saying this: For oral drenching, the recommended dosage for a 3.5 lb chicken is 0.4 cc (approximately 80 drops) once daily for 7 days, not 2–3 drops.

He says 2-3 drops is ineffective but he's not comprehending doing a followup with it in their water.

Personally, I'd go with the 3 drops followed by putting it in their water afterwards like I have always done. It has worked for me that way on several birds with bad coccidiosis.

I developed plantar fasciitis about 15 years ago. No more cheap shoes for me. Sigh. and I have to wear arch supports on top of it. So New Balance, Asics, Hoka. If I can find shoes for under 180 that don't make my feet hurt, I feel lucky..Learned to buy them direct from the companies. No problem with size. Went from a 6 to a 7 as I got older. It's just finding ones that my feet like that is the problem.

Think I got most of the larger hens that were pecking eggs separated from the flock. No broken eggs for about 5 days now and I've doubled the number of eggs I was getting per day so that tells me the whole story. I hate they started doing this because I know there is no cure for it except for a slow cooker or a crock pot.

Oh wow! That really sucks!!!! On both fronts.

My hens drop bombs when they are broody. Real. BIG. Bombs like half a cup full of poo if you were measuring it. About the only thing I ever saw my birds do when they had it was real runny poo.

I thought so too about Corid but the AI says you can overdose them and neuro symptoms occur when you do.

Pi has paper trained herself, or rather piddle pad trained herself. She also goes to the door now but you have to be quick to catch her because if you don't she heads right to the piddle pads. Smart little dog.
