The medicine for coccidiosis will not treat worms. The only way to know if your birds need worm treatment is to have a fecal sample flosted by a vet.

I didn't mean worms I meant coccidia oh, I started them on corid a few days ago, yes I think there should be a license to have children as well

I think that takes things a bit far. Pretty draconian if you ask me, and it would not make for better parents.
I believe China does something similar.

You don't need a license to drink or smoke. You just need to be a certain age to do it legally. That's very different than needing a license for things.

Yeah, in a little over 25 years in the mid 20th century their population doubled to about 1 Billion and in 1970 they decided to limit people to 2 children. That wasn't helping enough because people were living longer so the population kept growing. By 1980 they took the draconian step of punishing people who had more than one child. That was inspired by a member of the central government after reading two books - "Limits to Growth" and "A Blueprint for Survival".

Well after they realized their one child rule caused infanticide of all girl babies which resulted in entire towns populated by all men and no women, they finally changed the law again to allow two children.
Maybe they should have said, ;zero children rather than one child.

Actually, I'm good with slowing or better yet reversing population growth.
In the following video, you can see how densely populous China and India were as far back as the Han Dynasty in 1 AD.

We only have one planet and we haven't found another suitable one to overpopulate. That won't likely happen till long after we've completely used this one up.

I recommend you watch the documentary "one child nation", which explains in more detail what is involved with China's method of population control. I don't care how overpopulated the earth is, I could never condone their population control measures. Ever.

I guess it's one of those things where you can't find a happy medium the only thing we can do is everyone take it upon themselves with their own beliefs and if you feel you don't want to have children because of population control them don't and if you want to have children and don't agree then do! Ya know
