If your local TSC doesn't carry Corid (mine didn't) you can also get durvet, sulfadimethoxine soluble powder. Is in a yellow and white packet with a green label on the front. Doseage is 1 tsp/gallon for I think 5 days. Someone correct me if I'm wrong on the time period.

Another option is online. Jefferspet.com has ir about $6 cheaper than TSC. You will make up the difference in shipping, unless you order other stuff and hit their $49 min for free shipping. Seems like a good excuse to buy more stuff to "save money".

@AnneInTheBurbs unless you see blood in her poop, it might not be coccidosis. Even though the bacteria (or protozoa, can't recall which) are everywhere, they build up resistance pretty quickly and you generally only see it in younger chicks, and then only in bad conditions. I'm not saying not the get Corid, as it is harmless and really effective against Coccidosis, just that you might not be seeing that at all.

Is she still leghargic?

Now I see. The original dosing does say five days only. Casportpony has researched, and "fixed " the information.

She is still lethargic. I saw all 6 of them taking a chicken nap earlier, but I think that was just them relaxing. She still runs away from me, but looks pretty pale and is standing fluffed up with her eyes closed. I just scooted them out of the run, and she started to peck around a bit. She is definitely not right, but it's hard to say how she is because I'm trying to unpack and organize like crazy. I will try to check on her more today.

In these pics you can see her sister in the front, and the sickly in the back.

Graphic poop pics below!


Here are the only poops that looked suspicious. When I poked the one, it seemed more orangey, and not too much like dried blood. Any opinions? Ideas?

Just checked. All the turkeys and the chickens are taking a little nap right now. I think it warm and they are fed and happy. :) Pretty sure the one is sick though.

Yeah, I would definitely treat for cocci.

Thanks, I will get some Corid today. Are suggesting that based on her behavior, or on the poos? I actually was out there with her and saw her poo. It was perfect green little pile. Not sure if poop is always bloody with cocci, or just sometimes.

I'm basing it on the way she looks, hunched down, fluffed up, and tired looking. I've had some look like that before without the bloody poops and they recovered just fine.

Agree. Coccidiosis doesn't always lead to bloody poop. It's easy and safe to treat, so better be safe than sorry. If you were near me, I could give you my corid since I have no chicken now. But you are at least 3 hours away.
