Putting Corid in water can

[annecb]

So I thought I was seeing some weird stool in the coop. Cleaned everything out and got some Corid. I have a 5 gallon water. I filled it with about 3 gallons and put in the appropriate amount of liquid Corid. Do you think this is sufficient?

Welcome To BYC

Do you have photos of the chicks and poop?

Are any of your chicks acting sick, lethargic, puffed up, not eating/drinking, etc.?

Corid is used to treat Coccidiosis, so if that's what you think is wrong, then yes, adding it to their water is a good idea.

For 3 gallons of water, you would use 6 teaspoons of Liquid Corid (2tsp per gallon). Offer as the only source of drinking water for 5-7 days.

Thank you so much for your reply. I’ve attached a picture. I remember a YouTube saying that it can look like little pieces of hamburger? However I haven’t seen any more like this this morning… discovered it yesterday evening.. no I’m not sure if it’s from the chickens or could it be from another animal like a squirrel or a bird? Either way I have treated them. None of the birds are acting lethargic; however, one has some loss of feathers around her comb.. And otherwise looks a little thin.

How old are your chickens? I would treat for coccidiosis as well. Just mix enough water for 24 hours and refill in a clean waterer each day for 5-7 days. Worms can also cause blood in the poop. If your vet will do a fecal float on some combined collected fresh droppings, that would confirm coccidiosis or worms.

I would remove the large waterer and just use a small fount when treating with corid, Then discard the unused water and refill daily.
