I think my girls have coccidiosis! I bought corid and put it in their water but they won’t drink it. What do I do??

@casportpony @KikisGirls
What are the symptoms?... so that we know for sure if we're dealing with cocci or not and how bad it is. How long has this been going on for. Number of birds affected?

First of all, calm down.
Second, talk to someone who actually knows Cocci and what to do.
thirdly, you really shouldn't post 'Help!!!' without explaining why you need help.

My sugestions are to go to the people LilJoe listed. Also try @Saint_ Marwenne_Chickens And @speckledhen, they might know what to do, having experience with lots of birds. Best of luck!

First, how old are they? Coccidiosis is most seen in 4-8 week old chicks, or chicks who have been brooded inside and have been put on ground for the first time. By 10-12 weeks old, they are generally immune to whatever is in their soil.

Why do you think they have coccidosis? What are the symptoms? How much Corid did you put in there? Mine have never balked at drinking Corid-laced water. If you have the liquid 10% solution, you put 2 teaspoons to an entire gallon of water. If the 20% powder, it's 1 teaspoon, though it doesn't hurt to put a little more than that.

Nat is correct, always put your actual subject in the thread title and you'll get help much faster.
