What do I do with a chick that has coccacidia!

Go to your local livestock store and buy some corid, it is in the cattle section and give 1 tsp per gallon for 5 days.

 

Use corid. It kills cocci. Young chicks are very prone to it and older hens if under any stress. Also if its been really wet and warm it is worse. I don't know the dosage. Good luck with all your flock. I would treat them all at one time. When the dosage of corid is finished give them some pure real yogurt to help them heal. It interferes with the med if given together. Gloria Jean

 

Green is not coccidia, green is from free-ranging - eating grass and things IMO - have you checked the poop chart? You can also see blood when they shed some of their intestinal lining

 

If you can't find corid right away then try apple cider vinegar in their water..that helped my chickens
when TSC didn't have corid..Hope this helps.

 

I have treated with Sulmet, 2 tablespoons per gallon of water with great results also get those babies on medicated chick starter, it has low amounts of corid ( I think) in it already to help prevent cocci.

I agree with jerseygirl1 check the poop chart here, and compare.
Chicks with Cocci will be puffed up and have blood red poop.

 

The amprol in medicated chick starter will not treat or even prevent cocci although is it supposed to help. I use sulmet for treatment since corid (which is amprol) only treats for one type of cocci. 2 tablespoons per gallon of water for 2 days, then half that for an additional 4 days. If I'm still seeing symptoms, I follow this with a five day treatment with corid at the rate of 2 tsp. per gallon of water.

You can put them on a Medicated Chick Starter or Game Bird Starter that's active ingredient is Lasalocid.
You can also use Sulmet in there drinking water if you can not find a Medicated Chick Starter or Game Bird Starter that's active ingredient is Lasalocid.

Amprolium which goes by the trade names Corid and Amprovine, Amprolium, Amprol, Anticoccid and is a thiamine analog, competitively inhibits the active transport of thiamine (B1).

Lasalocid goes by the trade name Bovatec. Bovatec (lasalocid) is a coccidiocide that kills coccidia. It is an ionophore that moves potassium, sodium, calcium and magnesium into the cell causing the cell to burst. Bovatec works primarily on a single developmental stage of coccidia, providing a more narrow range of action than Deccox.
