Why do you say medicated is better? Honestly, over the years I have used both, and have seen absolutely no difference in the occurrence of coccidiosis. Doesn't seem to help at all. And if the person is putting the bird on medication, medicated feed would unbalance the dosages.

I want to see why she thinks medicated is better also, because, as everything ELSE that gets discussed on this forum, I've read arguements both ways.

Medicated really only gives very very small dosage for treating coccidosis, and there are supposedly better ways to treat that. According to some of the things you can read here.

According to me there is

. I don't treat for it unless I see the slightest symptom, then 5 days of 3/4 a teaspoon for 5 days, then a preventative dosage for 5 days. They shouldn't get it again.

There is what? Better treatment for coccidosis? Yeah I agree, i personally don't use the medicated chick feed because I've never been much of a "one size fits all" kinda guy

Yes, I meant a better treatment for coccidiosis. I don't use medicated anymore for a few reasons, one, I haven't seen it do any good, if they do get coccidiosis, you're not supposed to feed them medicated feed if they are on an amprol medication (corid), and lastly, I raise ducks along with chickens, and it's a whole lot easier not to feed them two separate kinds of feed!
 
Morning everyone. :) Happy Sunday.

Went out this morning and found a smallish chick in the outside pen that had been injured. I moved new ones out yesterday and this was one of questionable size.. But a little betadine, heat and a couple of young friends later and I think he's gonna make it. ;)

The dark one to the left is from yesterday's hatch.. It had trouble hatching and I didn't notice and had let my humidity plummet thinking it never even pipped. Well, come to find out it had and was stuck HORRIBLY. Now its neck is horribly crooked. So it's in the infirmary too lol.

In other news, I'm selling a small coop (dog house type) and we are building a tractor. I'm thinking this kind.. Anyone have one and like/dislike it? I'd like it for my bantams instead of a stationary I think.

Just gotta decide if I want the raised coop part or like the second pic. I'm leaning toward second.

medicated feed should only be given if there are signs of cocci and im onlyto state my personal experience as it made a difference but there are cases where it has no effect at all .
