Yes, Corid for coccidiosis. Right now Safeguard and Pyrantel Pamoate are the only wormers I have, and I haven't used the Pyrantel yet, except on cats and horses.

I've never had a case of cocci here, hope I never do. Is it something that happens more with flocks that are confined to one area?

I looked up the Pyrantel Pamoate can that be used on poultry, I see where it can be given to people for pin worms

also looked up corid.

It's very safe in many species.

I've heard of very similar things happening to ducks or drakes!
