I’ve had success with probiotics! They really help restore gut flora after a treatment. Mix it in with their feed for best results. They seem much livelier afterward too!
That’s a great idea, I’ll definitely try probiotics. How long after treatment should I wait before introducing them?
I usually start probiotics right after I finish the Corid treatment. It helps to replenish their gut as they recover. Just make sure they are high-quality ones.

Probiotic is a solid plan, but I’ve read some say it’s not effective unless the bacteria come from the same environment. Anyone have thoughts on that?
That seems a bit extreme, but I get why there’s concern. I think any probiotics can help, even if they’re not from the same flock. It’s about supporting their immune system!

I agree with Karen! The important part is to restore balance in their gut. And on a lighter note, my chickens are fussy eaters; they think they’re royalty! Anyone else’s birds have weird habits?
Lol, mine will only eat from certain bowls! They are so picky sometimes. I can’t tell if it’s their way of being funny or just plain stubborn!

Mine too! They act like they’re at a five-star restaurant. Back to Corid: any over-the-counter medications you’d recommend that can be used alongside it?
Corid is pretty much the go-to for coccidiosis, but if you’re looking for something else, I’ve heard good things about Sulfadimethoxine. Just remember to keep testing your flock regularly!
For effective use of Corid, make sure to maintain a clean environment. Regularly clean the coop and change bedding to reduce the risk of coccidia outbreaks.
Absolutely! It’s amazing how much a clean coop helps prevent illness. Plus, keeping feeders clean is crucial too.
Also, remember to provide fresh water daily. Contaminated water can be a major risk factor for coccidiosis. Simple hygiene goes a long way!
That’s so true! I’ve noticed health improvements after I started changing the water more often.

When using Corid, it’s essential to follow the dosage instructions carefully. Overdosing can lead to serious health issues. Always read the label!

Can anyone share their experience about vaccinating against coccidiosis? I’m interested in knowing if it actually makes a difference.
Honestly, I’m not sure about vaccinations, but focusing on hygiene has worked wonders for my flock. It’s like a shield against diseases!

That’s a great point! Good hygiene forms the backbone of flock health. Just can’t overlook its importance!
I’ve read that introducing probiotics can also help bolster gut health. Has anyone tried that alongside Corid?
I’ve experimented with probiotics and noticed my birds seem more robust. Might be worth a shot!
What do you all think about using natural remedies like apple cider vinegar? I’m curious if they do more harm than good with Corid.
