Peachick Corid dosing

[PeaFan]

Peachicks are hatching now under a brooding Peahen (Mom) (our first). I found the below dosing- is it the same for chicks? Do I just dose the water and put it out for all to drink? Also, should I be dosing them from day one after they come out or wait for them to be days/weeks old?

For 3-5 days 2 teaspoons per gallon, then for 7-14 days 1/2 teaspoon per gallon.

As always thank you for sharing knowledge!

Congrats on the hatch! As for the dose, that's what I do.

Corid is mostly ineffective for peafowl, I quit using it five to seven years ago when it failed to work for us. The best treatment is Toltrazuril, it doesn't just retard the cocci growth it actually kills the protozoa.

Toltrazuril - the 5%? Like here-https://a.co/d/fHcIEQF

Can it go in water? I don’t think Mom will be too willing to let me catch them.

Yes. There are two strengths, the 2.5% and the 5%, the mixing directions will be on the bottle. Give it as their only water source for two days once per month to control cocci until the snow flies or the first of the year whichever comes first.
