MEDICATING FOR COCCIDIOSIS
Only when you see your chicks humped up with ruffled feathers standing alone in the cornr, only drinking water they have started to get coccidiosis
this is only after they have been put on new soil
there are 9 kinds of coccidiosis germs
so every place may have different coccidiosis germs present
generally they do not get it in brooder
DO NOT medicate for coccidiosis IF your birds do not have symtoms of coccidiosis
It is very hard on them and will only cause them to be resistant to the medication when you need it
I always started the chicks on this recipe and seen to it the sick chick got to the feeder
chicks will generally eat a wet mash
When you spot chicks humped up standing in the corner or over by them selves after putting on the ground I always immediately fed this to them
1 gallon of dry crumbles
1-1/2 gallon of water
in the water use 1/2 first with 1 tsp of amproylium powder
I have used 1 tsp of sulmet
but I prefer a amproylium product
If few chicks make only 1 cup of dry crumbles and 1/8 of tsp of amproylium powder
2 cups of water mixed with amproylium powder
Then add rest of water till it is a very wet mash
put in feeders for all chicks so that each chick gets 2 tsp of it
see to it that the sick ones get to the wet mash
have the amproylium put in the drinking water for 7 days as well
ONLY MX what amount you will need to provide for the number of chicks you have so each chick eats 2 tsp per feeding
If you make too much store in ice box for next day
Only feed the medicated wet mash three mornings and when they finish it then cleclean the feeders and put back regular crumbles
