Got dewormer by the way. He's eating it now.

Great job on the poop pics. I don't get a sense he has an infection, but parasites, worms or coccidia could be a possibility. You can safely treat for both at once. If you have Corid on hand get him started on it right away. You may do the drench dose (undiluted Corid) in addition to the Corid solution .3ml to .5ml according to how large he is. Give this once a day for three days along with five days of Corid, then do another five day round in a week. Be sure to do a second round of worming in two weeks.

Thank you so much! Hopefully I didn't wait too long.

-Seems like he is constantly at the feeder

Give his facial feathers a good trimming so he can see better.

Yes, it was worse. I trimmed his face about a week ago. I told you he was a fuzzy little monster.

Can you help me with this. I'm not understanding how to mix this for Rufus. I got Corid 9.6 Oral Solution (the liquid bottle not the powder) and 3ml (cc) Syringes.

In addition, I think I should treat the whole flock, so in a 3 gallon waterer, how much of this solution should I mix in there and for how long? I have adults, juvies and month old babies out there right now.



I do want to say how grateful I am to everyone who chimed in on this thread. I'm not on here a lot, but when I need something you all really step up. Thank you

You can give 10 ml (2 tsp) of Corid in each gallon of water for 5-7 days. To give a drench, in addition, give 0.1 ml just under (1/4 tsp) per pound of weight once a day.

Ok, so is "drench" just straight undiluted from the bottle? In the syringe, right into his mouth?
