Yea...I've only had problems with coccidia in my "chicken tractor." I BLEACHED the thing like crazy before putting the d'Anvers in it..guess that wasn't good enough. ZERO problems with coccidia anywhere else. I feel SO defeated by it. I moved both the d'Anvers to the "chicken hospital" in the barn for the time being and plan to put them with a lone hen in her OFF the ground coop once I get it all cleared up. I guess maybe DH was right about burning that tractor...UGH. Unfortunately, with no way to keep wild birds off my property, there will always be a risk of coccidia. Guess these little ones never had been exposed to it and were unable to build up a resistance slowly

. I'm going to remain optimistic that the roo will recover. He had actually gotten up on the roost last night rather than sleeping on the floor which I took as a good sign. I'll definately let you know what Dr. Helm says about the alternative treatment. It's a 1-2 time dose of Ponzuril orally. We began using it in dogs within the past year and it works wonders for them. But coccidia in poultry appears to be a completely different BEAST than in dogs. BOO COCCIDIA! GO AWAY!

WOW lots to catch up on. Yancy Happy Birthday, love the cupcakes,

Deb sorry about your hubbys health, glad to hear he is on the raod to recovery. Jingles that he doesnt have anymore complications and all will settle back to normal really fast. No idea on the color of that chick, but I bet susanne may have a clue since she really knows silkies.

Lauren, I am so sorry about the d'anvers. Jingles for th eroo, and now that you know it is coccidia, I hope you can find a solution, but from my understanding, once you have it on the property it is almost impossible to get rid of it, so lots of treatments. Please let us know what you here from Clemson on the new treatment, and then let us know what that treatment is.

I still havent heard back from Mark on the millies d'anvers, but hope to here from him soon. HE doesnt check the IM on the d'anver site often.

Samantha, woo hoo on your shipped eggs arriving, I know you cant wait to get them hatched, and now you are going to get the birds from Phoneman, woo hoo. Safe travels.

This weekend I have an obedience trial in simpsonville, and we will be working on fence and chicken housing. We have eggs on lockdown.

HAve a great day.

Cocci is extremely resistant to a lot of things. And it is bad to be able to move around. One study showed that while spraying walls and floors of a kennel it was actually just pushing the cocci away and sent it spraying over into other parts of other kennels. I figure it is a teeny tiny form of kudzu!
I hope this gets things finished and done with you having problems with it. And I agree with your husband. Dismantle and burn the pen. And the ground where it sits.....gee, I don't know. Pour gas on it and burn, baby burn. J/K

Now off to get the area ready for my garden to be plowed. The guy is coming tomorrow and I have to stake it off to show him. It is only going to be about 100x60.

So the vet at clemson was zero help on the drug I was asking about using for coccidia. Oh well! One of the vets I work with contacted a vet friend of theirs and gave me the ok to use it. So we'll see...
