So what would ivermectin be used to in chickens? The liquid kind! And does anybody remember what the dosage of safeguard is to a gallon of water? I think my bantam EEs have a touch of coccidia. :/ noticed some red clots in their poop this am.

If they do have coccidian, then wouldn't corid be the way to go? Safeguard and such is for parasites. . .

Ivermectin is used for worms and mites, Safeguard is also for worms.
Neither one will help for coccidia. For that you need Sulmet or Corrid.
The Corrid powder is better than Sulmet but also costs more and is harder
to find sometimes. I try to keep at least one of these stocked all the time
just in case it's needed. Good luck.

Does anyone here have any experience with Red or Black stars? Or Golden comets? I've heard a ton of how they are extremely great layers. I currently have one black star pullet that we rescued from the feed mill with splay leg when she was a chick. I'm curious and excited to see how she will lay.

I have 6 red sex links, same as golden comets. Mine are now 16 months and are great layers. I usually get 5-6 eggs a day, being 6 more often. Most of mine are also very friendly.

Oops that's what I meant. Corid! How much to a gallon of water? It is powder form.

Per gallon doses

The preventative dose (.006%) for Corid Powder is 1/3 teaspoon (1.134 grams).
The preventative dose (.006%) for Corid liquid is 1/2 teaspoon.

The moderate outbreak dose (.012%) for Corid Powder is 3/4 teaspoon (2.268 grams).
The moderate outbreak dose (.012%) for Corid liquid is 1 teaspoon.

The severe outbreak dose (.024%) for Corid Powder is 1.5 teaspoons (4.536 grams).
The severe outbreak dose (.024%) for Corid liquid is 2 teaspoon.

I use 1/4 tsp per quart, which I guess equates to "severe", but I didn't see any ill effects, I guess I will make sure and go lighter from now on...

I have 6 Red Stars and 3 Black Stars.. the 9 of them were my very first chickens and I can't imagine life without them! They truly are excellent layers and very hearty. My red girls all started laying around 16-18 weeks!
