Egluntyne Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 I'd separate him from the others to be on the safe side, and observe his droppings. If you think he has coccidiosis, it is better to start treatment sooner rather than later. You don't say how old the chick is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chucky Mama Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 It's always best to finish a course of any med even if the symptoms have gone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwing Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 It does sound like cocci, blood in droppings doesnt have to be present, the hunched appearance in a chick that age is classic, dropped wings are another sign The treatment does start to work very quickly but treat for a full seven days and treat all in the batch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
