Jennie, I'd start treatment again, tonight since there is blood showing, and cocci can cause permanent damage to their intestines; impairing nutrient absorption. Then tomorrow start looking for sulfadimethoxine the generic name for Albon in case the corrid does not work asap. Sulfadimethoxine also comes in a soluble powder form called Di-Methox. Some strains of cocci is beginning to show resistance to some of the medications.

Two weeks ago, I finish treating my 1 week old chicks with Corid (treated for 7 days). I cleaned everything and made new pens in a new location too. Today I saw another bloody stool in my chick pen from the chicks that were treated previously. What is the life cycle of coccidiosis? Should I have treated again after a certain period of time to get any new parasitic eggs that lived through the treatment? At that time, I treated all the pens of all the chickens that I have on my property at the same time (I like to spread out my pens so they aren't too close to one another). Can I go ahead and treat again but just the pen that shows signs or should I do all the pens again? I read that once they have had cocci, they become immune to it in the future but how long before that is true? Just because I treated all my chickens for it, if they didn't have it at the time of my treatment, then does the treatment of Corid really do anything for them since it is not a vaccine to give them immunity? What is the principal behind medicated feed then?
Sorry for all the questions. Thanks in advance!
Jennie
