I posted earlier this weekend about sick chicks... well so far I’ve lost all but one. I’m heartbroken. I got undiluted Corid down him and the other two still remaining but they both died and this little rooster is still going. He’s even standing up and was sitting on top of his water earlier.
This prompted a few questions that I did not see the answers to online.
1) does anyone have any idea why he’s still alive and the other 4 died? I didn’t do anything different with him.
2) I read that oocysts can stay on the ground to be ingested for years, and nothing kills them. I lost babies to this last year too. Should I stop raising chickens in this part of my yard or are these things literally everywhere? As in, it won’t matter where I raise them?
3) I treated a hen in the same barn with Corid just to be safe. How long until I can eat the eggs she lays?
4) A breeder told me on Facebook that she has Corid as a preventative in her water, and her chicks still got sick. Is there any sure way to prevent this?
5) Does coccidiosis come in bouts? I had somebody in my 4h club tell me they lost 5 turkeys to it, somebody else that bought chicks from me said she lost 6 polish from it, so it seems to be around in my area. I find this funny because my dad had raised birds 30 years before I was born and had never seen it.
