Is It Ok to Add Ice to.....

[Keeperoflock]

…. water that has Corid in it? I'm on day 2 of treating for coccidiosis. The weather is about to heat up BIG time. I have never had to treat for coccidiosis before.

My chickens are 3 months and 2 weeks old. I make up a new batch of Corid water every day.

Thank you for your help!

I think it’s fine. Better cold than hot because chickens won’t drink it if it’s too hot. To prevent dilution of the medication dose, I would freeze a bottle of water & place it inside the waterer like a big ice cube then mid day, you could just remove the thawed bottle to be refrozen & put in another frozen bottle of water.

It shouldn't affect the effectiveness of the Corid.
I do what @Hamiam does by freezing water bottles to float in footbaths and water founts. That creates cool water, not ice water.
A poultry nutritionist I spoke to warned not to use ice in water because it can constrict the capillaries on a hot day.
