we exposed our two hens by bring 5 new hens in (we found out the 2nd day they were sick, so returned them). Treating our hens' H2O with Corid. We disinfected after scraping off the top of the dirt and sprinkled lime. Should our hens be locked inside so they only drink treated water, or will it not be good to leave them in the pen the sick hens stayed in?
 
Hello and welcome to BYC! :frow Glad you joined.
As stated the exposure is already over. But it is imperative that their only source of drinking water is the medicated water. Incidentally the other hens may not have been sick. They just carried a completely different strain of coccidia oocytes than your hens do and either group could get the other one sick because they wouldn't have resistance to the other groups strain of coccidia.
