Pale comb and droopy Roo

[ChickensAreSweet]

Oh also I have seen Corid perk my flock up with the only sign of illness being depression/lethargy. Then within two days they are all running around (5 day course of Corid). These were teenage chickens I treated.

My roo is still droopy. How much Corid should I give him and how? Oral or a shot? I have Tylan. Is that a medicine I can use for it? Thanks!

Have you wormed him yet? If you did, what did you use ?

 

[lfoose]

Yes twice with Safeguard.

 

[enola]

Did you give him the Safeguard out of a syringe? When did you last dust him for lice/mites?

 

[lfoose]

Yes I have him the Safeguard out of a syringe. I have a dusting area die them to dis themselves. Dirt and DE.

No offense intended, but DE is virtually useless.

Do your rooster a favor and dust him with an insecticide. If he is infested with mites or lice they will kill him eventually.

If you wish to treat him for suspected coccidiosis, I would like you to read this first as it tells you all about it, if you don't mind:

I give Corid 9.5 ml of the 9.6% solution per gallon of water, for 5 days as the sole drinking water. Mix new solution daily. If they aren't drinking I syringe alongside the beak, some of the mixed water/medication so they don't aspirate. Don't pour it down the throat or they may aspirate.

I don't administer vitamins at this time, since Corid is a thiamine blocker. It is available in the cattle section of the feed store and doesn't mention poultry on the label.

x2 this could explain a pale comb and being droopy/lethargic

I use permethrin poultry dust from the feed store. Repeat in 7 days for mites/lice and repeat again in 14 days for lice.
