Help! How to give chicks penicillin

[AdrianOrtiz12]

Hi, I was wondering if possible, how can I give my chicks penicillin? The chicks are about 3 weeks old and idk which one is pooping blood. I think its called coccidiosis. And I want to treat them the fastest way possible since I have seramas and DO NOT want to lose them! Thank you in advance for the help!

Penicillin doesn't treat coccidiosis. For coccidiosis you need amprolium (Corid), a sulfa antibiotic, or toltrazuril (Baycox). If you live in the USA your local feed store should carry Corid.
