amprolium

Been reading a lot about using medicated feed and corid in waterers, and was curious what everyone's opinions were on this subject? Medicated chick feed usually contains: 0.0125% amprolium Corid contains: 9.6% amprolium (example dosage: 2.5ml per quart of water) Some people say that you can...

My chicks are now about 6 weeks old and I’ve been letting them free range during the day and bring them inside at night since we had a bit of a warm spell. It looks as though a couple of chicks are beginning to have bloody stools and act lethargic. I’ve been feeding them medicated starter with...

Hello, I have a group of 6 and 8 week old seramas. Any 20 total. 1 of the oldest and 1 of the youngest are showing signs of cocci. They’ve been outside for 10 days. The two are fluffed up and isolating. Everyone else is fine. Here’s something I can’t find info on which is surprising: they have...

hi all. I work at a small hobby farm with 29 free-ranging chickens of various breeds, raised on organic feed. Recently, some have showed signs of illness and their fecal tests came back positive for heavy Coccidiosis. My employer does not have prior experience with poultry and I have never...

If a hen is being treated with pencillin, would a treatment of oral corid not be safe to administer at the same time?

Hi everyone - I'm brand new to all of this and we got some baby chicks only a few days ago. They all currently ranging in ages between 4 or 5 days old and about 10 days old. They were all fine and active, but one of the youngest ones (about 5 days old now) suddenly rapidly declined in the last...

Hiya, So I have a small flock of chickens (3 hybrids about 8months old and 2 pekin bantams about 6months old) and all has been fine until today...I was cleaning the coop out and noticed some liquidy poo which I thought was just ceacal poo - I look in it and saw a few large worms inside! After a...

I have a 6 month old bantam polish hen that should signs of Coccidiosis. I first noticed something off when she didn’t come running with the flock to greet me. She’s always been high energy and a bit of a spaz. Spending time with the flock, I noticed her just standing, not Foraging, and she even...

Multiple recommendations for different meds appear, but which is the very best?

I have four hens and added a Easter egger pullet to my flock, from the same breeder the rest of my girls come from, two and a half weeks ago. Four or five days after getting her she had red in her droppings but otherwise seemed OK. I spoke to my "Chicken guy" who thought she may have picked up...

Ok, so just before Christmas I had a sudden death and really bloody poop in my 8-9 week old chicks in their brooder. It was suggested here as coccidiosis and I got my cats vet to (somewhat reluctantly) do a fecal float and prescribe me some Amprolium for the coccidiosis, no worm signs at all in...

Hi, I’ve got my amprol 9.6%, and wanted to confirm the dosage for water... I am treating a fairly bad coccidiosis outbreak for the first time. I’ve read a few different conflicting dosages here. My vet recommends 2ml/gallon of water for 2 weeks. Does this sound correct?

We found a baby chick around 6 weeks back lying on the road and brought her back home. She (her name is Tooki) might be of the broiler breed. Not sure. But now for the past 5 days she has suddenly gotten very sick and stopped moving around. We had purchased a baby chick (Brownie) so that Tooki...

Hey Everyone! I am posting this to those who use medicated chick feeds. I understand everyone has their opinions on whether or not to use medicated chick feed and this is not a post for arguments sake. This is me simply trying to inform those who do use it. So I digress. To those of us...

Hello. Our hens' fecal float came back positive for cestode protozoa. Our vet prescribed Corid (3ml/gal) for 5 days. I assume that's for the protozoa, and FWIW our hens don't show any signs of bloody stools (cocci). Just some slightly runny poo. I had to look up cestode to figure out that it's...
