Give her plain boiled white rice mixed with buttermilk in her feed for a couple of days. That should clear up the diarrhea.

No worries. Buttermilk is a very good probiotic and is easily absorbed. It coats intestinal lining slowing the effects of coccidiosis until Corid or a sulfa drug be introduced. That's if you ever have a cocci problem. It is a much better probiotic than yogurt. The rice will help settle innards.

That's good to know, didn't know buttermilk is a probiotic and better than yogurt. Thank you for this info.

When using safeguard do I need to retreat after initial treatment of 5 days?

Treatment is 5 days in a row.

I did the 5 days, I've seen some posts where they retreat again after a period of time.

It depends on your environment how often you'll need to reworm. If your soil is warm/wet or moist most of the time, you'll need to reworm frequently. Also if your birds are enclosed in a pen and staying on the same soil, they'll need to be rewormed frequently.

We did have a lot of rain but it's not bad now and they're usually out free ranging for a few hours a day. I may just have them retested in a month.
