Sick pullet, chickens dying.

They have in stock nearby! I'll grab in the am. Is it ok to mix with the electrolytes, probiotic, and poultry cell? Shes on purina medicated starter and grower feed

No.
Do not give it with the poultry cell or any other vitamins.

Probiotics, & vitamins can be given after treatment.
What type of waterer do you use?

We have the large plastic ones from TS. Gets washed every other day. Should we use different?

Dose depends on gallon.
I only treated chicks using a quart jar, which the dose was 1/2 tsp.

I think the Purina medicated feed has same as the corid. Hold on I’ll double check. Was just looking into this earlier

 

[Jandsloch]

Yes the medicated feed is same as corid. It may not be wise to do both. Not to mention if she’s been on medicated feed for awhile there’s a chance she’s grown a tolerance....

The amount of amprolium that is in a medicated feed is not enough to cure Coccidiosis.
It sometimes isn't even enough to prevent it.

You can not mix Corid or the medicated feed with vitamins...it basically cancels out what the Corid is helpful for.

It is not the same.

It is not the same.

The medication is the same ....Amprolium... which is the med as corid. It’s probably a lower dose than putting corid in the water but it is the same. I’m no expert and like I said being given the medicated feed the chicken may have grown a tolerance. I don’t know for sure...just a thought. New to chickens but not new to meds. It’s the same concept of antibiotics....given over time a chicken...human...whatever will eventually grow a tolerance where normal dosage doesn’t work. I am not a chicken vet it was just advice I was giving.

Sorry for the confusion but yes the ingredient in the medicated feed and Corid is the same ingredient.

The dose or amount of what is in the feed doesn't compare to treating with the Corid itself.

The medicated feed will not cure an outbreak of Coccidiosis.
