Can anyone help me on dosing information on CORID for a 2 week old silkie chick. 20% powder solution? I can't imagine it is the same as a 2 lb bird....

It is, actually - because it's a dissolved med delivered through the water the solution is the same

Hi, Ive been reading this helpful thread as I have two hens that I'm sure have coccidiosis. Within one day they are very sick, having constant diarrhea and very lethargic. Have them isolated and a water feeder with Corid. Since they are week I'm giving them the Corid (with water) in syringes. I'm wondering how often to do this, once a day, twice a day, etc? I'm thinking every day is pretty crucial at this point.
Thanks so much for your posts and any help! These are two of my favorite hens.

Can you drive a fresh poop sample to the UC Davis lab in San Bernadino for testing?

No, im by san diego pretty far away. The symptoms seem like cocci, and my flock has has it before. Just wondering how often to medicate.

Im using the liquid.

Their daily dose is about 0.1ml per pound. How much do they weigh?
