Tell me what to do

I don't want to sound insensitive, but you should probably still get the Corid for your other birds so you'll have it if you ever need it. I prefer using the liquid as it can be given in as an oral drench, but I have never seen it in a store, so you would have to buy it online.

Sorry for your loss ... learning can be such a painful experience. But your entire flock will be better, for what your bird has taught. And, by sharing your knowledge? The flocks of others will, as well. And, hopefully, you can find comfort in knowing that you might spare others from feeling as you do now.

I think we are going to do the corid. He died this morning. He was so sweet. Thank you all for helping.

Sorry to hear you lost him. I had the same thing happen last spring, lost a 3 year old barred rock hen, my favorite of course. Seems like it always is. It was coccidiosis, I just didn't see the signs and realize what I was dealing with until it was to late.

You are wise to treat the rest with Corid. I now keep it on hand.

How do I know how much to give them? Our tsc has the powder to put in their water. But we don't know how much.

I'm very sorry for your loss... I haven't used the powder, but others have, so search for it. Or, you can try using this:

If you get stuck, let me know and I'll figure it out for you.

Other than providing the following table for all to consider, I will defer to casportpony on this subject (far more experienced than I am with the administration of medications to poultry/fowl ~'-)

That was the coolest thing I've ever seen. Thank you for this. Going to share.

The 20% water soluble powder is 1/2 teaspoon per gallon of water for 5 to 7 days. You need to make it up fresh every day.
