I can't math, I already posted the dosage link so follow the instructions there for the waterer size you have.

I would not fill up the entire waterer. Make like 1 gallon at a time, unless your flock is large enough that they empty out the waterer daily. Easier to manage the dosage that way, and many waterers are not accurate to how much water they actually hold (mine says 3 gal and does NOT hold 3 gal), so measuring both the water and the amprolium would be advisable.

It's difficult to overdose on amprolium. It's not really a medicine, it's a thiamine inhibitor.

Temporarily get a bucket or tupperware and give them all fresh water.
Then come back here and figure out your dosage.
I would help but I can't math before 8 pm or after 10 pm.

Even if it was a very high dose they will probably be okay, it will act like a drench dose.
I'm assuming you still have the medicated water in the regular waterer... when you figure out the right dose you may be able to pour some of that out and dilute it without wasting too much medicine. Good luck with math.

30 ml of corrid to 3 1/2 gallons of water

I already throw them all out . All of the waterer is empty and I am thinking to make a new one so its supposed to be 1 oz of corrid to 6 1/2 gallon of water .thank you so much for the reply .I am freaking out

Where does it say that? The correct dose is 10 ml per gallon, so 35 ml per 3.5 gallons.

Why would you remove the waterer? If you're treating for an active case of coccidiosis they need to drink the Corid water for 3-5 days, then a reduced dosage for 7-14 days.

30 ml in 3.5 gallons? Or 30 ml in 1/2 gallon?
