smanners Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 I've just found some chick crumbs with added AC (coccidiostat). Does anyone else use this or know any reason why it shouldn't be given to my 2week old chicks? They have been raised by my broody hen and therefore have not been given any vaccinations at all. I think I read somewhere it shouldn't be given to vaccinated chicks! Thanks for any answers in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 I think if you are raising the chicks organically it would compromise that, but apart from that some do ....some don't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phosphorus Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 That's what miine are having. It shouldn't be given to laying hens, but okay to let the broody hen eat it as well (just don't eat any eggs if she starts laying again - unlikely - give it a 7 day or so gap after last bit of chick crumb). I went for the medicated stuff as we have a lot of wild birds in our garden and they would come into contact with cocci more than likely Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
