Sanitizing after a cocci outbreak?

[ten chicks]

They are not ok though, the cocci has spread to my inside brooders and I am unable to ger any corrid till Saturday.

Look on forum,there is some info about using milk or dairy products in the event you are unable to get Corid right away.

This is something my daughter posted yesterday, it wouldn't hurt anything to try it.

So I get home yesterday to find a dead chick (my 1st one )and noticed some bloody poop. Run down to orchlens before they close and they have nothing for cocci. Well after some time thinking outside of the box and the assistance of my BFF, Google, I learn that caffinic acid (not related to ccaffeine) also blocks the absorption of vitamin b-1/thamin. So iI head to Walmart and pick up some decaf coffee. I mixed some in their feed and this morning NO bloody poop. Managed to get to MFA today and grab some corid and will treat, but this evening only.saw 2 bloody poops. Not recommending as a treatment per say, but worth a shot if you can't get the good stuff. Thinking of pulling a few out and experimenting with the coffee treatment. I must also addI would never give caffeine!!!

Also, plain yogurt helps to maintain a balance of good bacteria in the gut.

How much to mix in do you think?

I would just make a pot of coffee and mix enough in to make the food soft and wet but not really runny. It certainly won't hurt anything.
