I missed this post!

Most do not treat for Cocci correctly and at the effective dose.

All of the chicks need to be treated! Use the 20% cord powder at the rate of 1.5 tsp to 2 tsp per gallon for 5 days. Then lower the dosage to .5tsp per gallon for another 5 days. Give them lots of B vitamins after the treatment and watch them closely. You may need to treat again up to 16 weeks old several times.

It is possible to have an aggressive strain and then Sulmet can be used.

Arielle I am so sorry you are losing chicks to cocci. My heart goes out to you!

I hope and pray you don't lose any more! I lost several of mine a few months ago and still now and then I have had to treat again for it. That is why last weekend DH went and got a pickup load of sand and we spent the day spreading sand in all the pens to try to stop it!

I'll keep repeating this til the day I die, I think.

YOGURT

Get a good plain, unsweetened yogurt that has several strains of beneficial bacteria in it. Keep your birds supplied with it. These bacteria, if in sufficient quantities can kill the coccidiosis.

Sometimes, adult birds won't even try it. I start mine on it when they're in their first week of life. I mix it into their fermented feed or feed it straight. To get it into your adult bird that won't even try it, mix some in their water for the day. If you have several birds in a pen (and who doesn't?) give it to them plain and in small amounts in their feed dish. There only needs to be one bird willing to try. Once once does it, more will, and then they'll all be flinging yogurt everywhere so stand back. You'll be quite amused. There will be yogurt all over their faces, combs, backs... very amusing!

When my birds see a yogurt container, they all pack around my feet so tight I can barely walk.

That's what I love about our thread, there's room for everybody, as long as each is respectful of the other (although I'm having to bite my cheek to keep from teasing SCG just a little.....)  We have a healthy mix of Christian, Atheist, Muslim, Agnostic.....it's good to believe in something, even if it's not the same as someone else's

We all think WE are the one that's right, but obviously some of you aren't.

My DD said to my once, "You think you're right about everything!" I said, "Of course I do, if I thought I was wrong, I'd change my mind......duh."

Seriously, if we were all alike, it would be B_O_R_I_N_G!!!

20,000 push ups?! If I started now, I might make 100 before the 20,00th post or before I passed out.
