**********HELP**********Coccidiosis problem

[Robert McGaughey]

Ok I really need some help here. I bought a package of Corid 20% soluble powder and I'm trying to figure out how much to mix in the 5 gal waterer I have. The package doesn't have any instructions for chickens. Anyone have an idea ????????, I've lost one to this stuff and really don't want to loose anymore, ya know.

Corid 20% soluable powder dosage; 1 teaspoon per gallon of water for 5-7 days. For 5 gallons= 5 teapoons for 5-7 days.

Robert, when you get a minute, can you tell about your chickens' symptoms? Mostly just for the record, but also because I am trying to figure out what is going on with my own chicken, and just gain knowledge generally.

Thanks.

Ok the one that was sick was all fluffed up and wasn't eating or drinking and also lost a sh_t-load of weight. Also her poop was runny and discolored. Well here just check it out, day before she died.

I think it is 1 to 2 tablespoons per gallon

No! That dosage is for the 9.6 Corid liquid...not the 20% soluable powder.

I stand corrected on the 20% soluable corid powder dosage....it is 1/2 teaspoon per gallon of water, not one teaspoon.

Chicken health book says 1 teaspoon of the amprolium 20% powder per gallon, making it 1/4 tsp per quart, for 5 days. give vitamin supplement (A & K) once treatment is over.
