Three new chicks have Cocci.

Two of my new chicks, both only a week old, are down with Coccidiosis. I found a Tractor Supply Co store that sells Corid, but it says that it is for cattle. Would it still work for chickens?

Just a quick yes or no answer works >u<

 

[enola]

Yes


I am glad you found some!

The dosage is 1.5 teaspoons per gallon on their only source of drinking water.

Thank you! But what if my chicks are not drinking? They've barely moved, and I haven't seen any drink willingly.

Take a dropper and patiently give them a dropper ful every hour or two. They need all of the hydration and medication you can get into them. Put the dropper at the edge of their mouth and do one drop at a time .

Do not give them any sugar water or any vitamins.

Directly on their break or somehow into their mouth?
Earlier today I tried dropping water on their beaks; no response.

I apologize for all the questions! I'm very new to this

No problem

Did you see my question above my last post? >u<
