Is there such thing as TOO MUCH protein for chickens??

Alright. Thank you!
I know not to mix Corid & vitamins, I just wasn't sure if I should give them either, and if so, Which- the medication, or the vitamins/electrolytes.

If you give vitamins or electrolytes in the water, make sure you provide plain water too. Overdoses of vitamins or electrolytes can cause problems, and providing plain water gives the chickens a chance to avoid that.

Of course Corid is a different case. You do not want them to have a choice about drinking the water with Corid, so they should not have a source of plain water when you are treating them with Corid in their water.

I don't believe coccidiosis is an issue here. A little bit of vitamins and electrolytes is fine, and might help give the hard molter a bit of a boost and get her to eat a bit more, but it probably won't have much effect on her actual molt or her diarrhea issue. You never know though - if it helps her feel better, it might be worth doing.

And yes make sure they have a source of plain water as well if doing vitamins and/or electrolytes, so they have the option of both.
