This is the stuff correct to get for their water?


Sulfadimethoxine

Used for treating outbreaks of coccidiosis and fowl cholera. Do not give to chickens over 16 weeks of age and turkeys over 24 weeks old. Symptoms include: loss of appetite, ruffled feathers, birds act cold and listless, combs turn pale, loss of weight, droppings can be watery, bloody, pasty, or light-brown to yellow in color. If you treat for coccidiosis when the birds are young, most of your disease problems disappear as the bird matures. Keeping pens clean with fresh litter helps prevent disease. Fowl Cholera is a contagious disease in geese and sometimes ducks and swans. Caused by a bacteria and spread by feed, water, and premises, to pen-mates. Rapid death occurs in the most severe cases, however, profuse greenish-yellow to white diarrhea will be seen. In turkeys, wry neck is a frequent sign. Dosage: 1 tsp. per gal. maintenance, 2 tsp. per gal. severe dosage, and 1/2 tsp. for prevention

so i can add to their water every day to 16 weeks..

You do not want to give them a treatment for something they do not have. It is good to be educated and prepared for "just incase" but there also comes a time where you need to not make yourself sick from worry. Clean water, plenty of food, shelter and heat when little and a secure place to scratch when larger should be top priorities. Since the first chicks arrive this week them the Easter Eggers a few weeks from now have seperate brooders, if using clear storage tubs keep them near each other so they see the other chicks.

If worried about the coop, mix a bleach and water solution and scrub every surface then let air dry.
