Raising peachick in chicken territory - cocci?

[KsKingBee]

I give no less than 0.014 ml per 100 grams of bodyweight orally for 2-3 days. This stuff is an oral suspension, it is not water soluble, so it needs to be given orally.

I had not heard that and was told to use 6ml per gallon of water.

The one I posted a link to is a suspension like Safeguard, it's not water soluble. Actual brand name Baycox 2.5% might be water soluble, but it's more expensive.

I guess this is the one I should have bought. https://www.growsolutions.com.au/en...eP5m80ywn4h7-BbvBb_CUkcS_DujwDuNEAldTkcDxnj0M

That one is water soluble.

That one is water soluble.

Yes, it says so on the directions. However, both a friend of mine and I have used the 5% at 6ml per gallon of water and confirmed by fecal exam both before and after that the cocci was eliminated.

Of which product? The solution or the suspension?

If that's what you use and 6 ml per gallon works, great, keep on using it, just keep in mind that it, like Safeguard, is not really water soluble.

Gotcha, thanks.

How often should I treat for coccidiosis since my peachick is now part of my chicken flock? I know it is better not to mix chickens and peafowl but my peachick was hatched with these chicken chicks and I hate to put him in a pen all alone. I am thinking that at least he (or she) has family to spend the day with instead of being a loner. So...should I be checking for coccidiosis on a regular basis and how often? I could use some advice. My peachick is 9 weeks old.
