Yes our house is cooler but my boyfriend will not allow them in the house.How old are they? 85 is a little warm for chicks over a couple weeks. Is your house any cooler?
Is the heat causing Coccidia? Or the rampant spread of it? Since they are infected I’d really rather not have them in my house. Certainly many other people have themHow old are they? 85 is a little warm for chicks over a couple weeks. Is your house any cooler?
what’s the oral dosage? I have 2 chicks in one brooder and 2 chicks in a different brooder and I don’t want to put them together with the risk of making the silkies worse than they are and I can’t fit both of the brooders in the laundry room where I just put the silkies. The silkies are close to 10 weeks and should already be outside but we are waiting for our new coop to be delivered since I can’t put them with our big flock outside.How long have they been getting the Corid so far? You can give any that are acting sick, or that you know have bloody poops an oral dose in addition to the medicated water.

If you are not seeing any improvement on Corid then you may need to switch to another medication. You can get toltrazuril here:

In your house or not, you are not at risk. Warm, wet conditions can make the spread of coccidiosis worse, make sure bedding is clean and dry, and that whatever watering system you are using isn't getting spilled causing wet conditions, as well as keeping up with droppings clean up. Make sure water is clean, change often if they are getting poop in it.
Link?Some coccidia strains do not respond to Corid/Amprolium.
I would treat them ASAP with sulfadimethoxine +trimethoprim, sulfadimidine or similar sulfa drug.
Very sorry you lost so many chicks already.
Our chicks get outside time every day up until they got sick. I have an outside flock and I do not want them pooping outside and my outside flock contracting it as they are free range.How long have they been getting the Corid so far?
