I have 35 broilers that are 6 weeks old and currently live in a 16'x9' coop. They have been there for two weeks and they will be butchered in two weeks. Since they are scheduled for butcher in two weeks, I have taken them off medicated feed and today they have started on non medicated ration. My concern is the coop that they are in. I started with a generous layer of pine bedding but that has now become a moist layer of compacted manure and pine bedding. At six weeks, how great is my risk of coccidiosis? How should I be maintaining the bedding to finish these broilers for the next two weeks? This is my first batch of birds so any advise is greatly appreciated. Thanks...dc
