Hi guys... we are lucky enough not to suffer from flooding, but we've gotten an CRAZY amount of rain. My chicks are 2 months old and have been out in their coop for about a month now and are doing great. It's a huge covered run and I was going to let them eat all the grass first before laying down sand. Even though it doesn't directly rain in there, the clay ground is saturated and it's a now a huge stinky, squishy mess with standing water at times when it really pours. It drains out eventually but I'm really worried- no, paranoid about coccidiosis. Would there be any harm in treating them all with Corid as a preventative? They are no longer on medicated feed. I see them drink from the poopy brown puddles and cringe. I see the occasional red-tinged pieces in their droppings, but nothing consistent and nothing that screams coccidia. Thoughts? I've never used the stuff so I'm just not sure if I should use it strictly when necessary. When it all dries, I'm going to lay down sand as I heard you shouldn't do it while wet.
On another note... any fellow southeast Texas being affected by all the rain/flooding? Thinking of y'all...
