Please help. I just do not know what to do.

I bought some hatchery chicks and combined my chicks I hatched out with them.

I did not realize at first that anything was wrong, but I lost a few chicks. Then I saw blood in some poop. Read up and I am pretty sure that it is Coccidosis.

The hatchery chicks seem fine. Do I need to medicate all chicks even though they are not sick? And when can I put the one sick chick back in with everyone else? It has been medicated and i don't see anymore blood.

Can a bird infected with Cocci and treated get it again?

Thanks to all who are willing to help!

I believe once treated they have an immunity to that 1 strain of Cocci. When I had an outbreak I treated all just in case I carried it from one cage to another.
 
There are nine types of cocci, rusty, and they can get a new strain if someone walks it in on their shoes and it's foreign to what's in your own soil. Corid treats them all. Sulmet treats all except one of the most common ones, so I much prefer Corid to treat. And yes, treat them all if one has it.

Basically you can get coccidiosis more than once
as stated because of the 9 different kinds

my thought is to put all together as the corrid does not hurt them

here is my way of doing this treatment

THE WET MASH WITH THE MEDICATION IS GIVEN FIRST TWO MORNINGS
AS WELL AS IN THE WATER USE THE MEDICATION
and remember to use it full time either 5-7 days but do not start and then no bloody droppings DO NOT STOP treating with medication


#1 FOR COCCIDIOSIS

Use medication of choice
I give both medications and amts to put in the wet mash medicated with either corid or sulmet

also use the corid or sulmet in the water at same time for 5-7 days
SULMET )
A) for the flock do this
THIS CAN BE MADE INTO
1 QT OF DRY FEED
2 QTS OF WATER
AND THEN ADD THE 2 TSPS OF SULMET

CORID
If using corid 9.6% for the flock
1 QT OF of dry mash
2 QTS of water
add 2 tsp of corid 9.6% to the water
feed 2 tbsp per chicken for a feeding
feed this two mornings to get the medication in the birds
also at same time put the corid or sulmet in the drinking water for 7 days
each chicken gets 2 tbsp of the wet mash with coccidiosis meds

speckled hen gives corid(9.6%) liquid in 2 tsp per gallon of water a

And after medicating give the following things
either the corid amproylium or the sulmet will work but now you have a difficient gut problem with the E.coli
and it needs to have the Vitamin E put in the wet mash probiotic to help the E.coli gut problem

do this now the
WET MASH PROBIOTIC TREATMENT

natural probiotic recipe is is:
3 tbsp of dry crumbles
4 tbsp of milk, sweet, sour, or buttermilk or a mixture of all or some
1 tbsp of yoguart of non flavored yoguart ( no artificial sweetmer)
mix good
AFTER PUTTING vIT'S IN
PUT 1 TBSP OF APPLE SAUCE FOR THE WET MASH PROBIOTIC

NOW THE IMPORTANT INGRIEDIENT FOR EACH CHICKEN FED
and add 1- 400 mg of Vit E by cutting the end off the vit E capsule for each chicken fed this wet mash
putting it in the wet mash

OR FOR each chicken your treating
so for each chicken use 2 tbsp of mixture and 1-400 mg of Vit E

twice a day for them till the manure is solid

and feed each chicken
2 tbsp full of the wet mash probiotic and what they will clean up in 20-30 minutes
then clean wet feeders and restock dry crumbles

do this twice a day for a week
till the chickens manure is right
then quit the Vit E make just the wet mash probiotic
then once a week for life

All the while after mdicating the birds use
do not use ACV with medication

2 tbsp of apple cider vinegar per gallon of the chicken water so their gut flora wil be regulated

they should have this at least 3-5 days a week
then three days aweek after they are over coccidiosis
the vit's are neccessary to clean up the damaged gut problem

email me any questions so you are not confused
