So Many people think that when their chicks go to the big "house" they need to have prevenative mdication to ward off coccidiosis
but that is not true
Your soil can have any or all of the 9 kinds of coccidiosis in it
Even if the birds are on a amprolium feed do not fail oif birds come down sick
the medicated feed does not deture coccidiosis just slows it down.
by standing humped up and only driking water generally in the corners
some 10-12 days after being put on the new soil, then get the corid or sulmet into the drinking water
corid 9.6% dry or liquid is 2 tsp per gallon of water
this will be new to the chicks.
the best thing is to feed them good dry crumbles and once a day give the wet mash probiotic 2 tsp for each chick
I never found it any good to feed corid or sulmet in the water as preventative
I have heard some say weak amt of liquid per gallon for 25 days is good
NO IT IS NOT GOOD FOR THEM.
as if they become exposed to coccidiosis then treated they become immuned to the coccidiosis and should not get it again
but you have to put it in the water for treatment the full amt of days
some time folks take the idea that if they show signs of betterment in 3 days quit treat,emt
DO NOT QUIT TREATMENT TILL FULL AMOUNT OF DAYS HAS PASSED
then give the wet mash probiotic after treatment is done
NOTEremeber wild birds eat and drink and deficate the disease germs out also
they always have some kind of diseases
also if you have bird waterers where the chickens can drink from them clean them out and disisst with watering wild birds
this time of yr the respiratory diseases are prvelent in wild birds also
also fow pox is prelent in wild birds
