yes 3 out of the 6 hens are already laying and i am giving them oyster shells and 17% layer feed

Acv, cinnamon, garlic, oregano oil(honey optional)! This combo is magic, I stopped coccidiosis in its tracts it killed 6 of 26 and would’ve killed the rest. They were all around 2 to 3weeks old with one only one week old (it survived) after a few days of that they were very sleep and probably lost a week of growth but now they’re all happy and back to normal(I hope they’re not stunted)

That does NOT cure cocciadosis. Please don’t spread misinformation.

This does not cure cocciadosis. Protozoan parasites need amprolium to starve them of vitamin b. Please do not be under the false impression that any natural remedies cure internal parasites. You are beat following what eggcessive has to say.

Corid is a very safe medicine, not an antibiotic, and it will usually be the first thing to try if coccidioais is suspected. However, getting a fecal float to actually see if chickens have either coccidiosis or worms is always best. With a very sick chicken that ia lethargic, not eating, and having ruuny poops, especially if they are under 3 months old, I would go ahead and treat them with Corid since they could die.

Lots of people have remedies they like, and that is fine, but many are not proven cures. When I was new with chickens, I believed a lot of hype about ACV and pumpkin seeds, but found they were not very effective or necessary. Herbal remedies should have some research to back them up. I am not against those, but I know that Corid works.

I didn't mean to "start" anything, so I hope I didn't. I'm looking for information, in case I should need it. If I suspected my chickens had cocci -- which I don't, they're fine -- I'd probably go for Corid. If we had just gotten a foot of snow or an inch of freezing rain, well, that might not be possible and I might be stuck with what I could do with what I had on hand.

Thank you everyone for sharing your knowledge. I appreciate what people have learned and their time spent passing it on.

You’re not starting anything bad, it’s good to have several opinions to go off of. It’s just that when it comes to something like this, misinformation could be deadly to your whole flock. Good luck to you - my birds all had cocci this year and were treated successfully (and they always have a gallon of ACV water along with their fresh water). It’s just one of those things!

my hen is doing better but now most of the chickens have poop stuck to their fluffy butt feathers is that normal?

It can be 'normal' with juicy poops.
Trimming soiled feathers off will help deter fly strike.
