Medication for Cocci

[Jennym]

I only have six chicks and one of my babies poopied a bit of blood last night.

What medicine do you recomend? Do I have to buy a whole gallon?

Sometimes their mouths open like they are talking - Is this an issue as well?

 

[MRNpoultry]

Are you feeding them med-feed?

Our they to hot?

 

[Jennym]

No they are not hot. I had the temp where it should have been. In fact there are a few that still cuddle together.

Yes they are on medicated feed.

I'll keep an eye on it tonight and see ehats happening.

Keep an eye out for more blood. Usually, if it is cocci, the chicks will become lethargic, become bony, then start with the blood. If so, a bottle of amprolium or sulmet is always good to have around. A part of preventing cocci outbreaks is early exposure to the organism too.

No she is full of life and eating and drinking. She looks like a little butterball.
