There is too much blood in their droppings for our liking, are they still looking healthy and eating/drinking?

Hi Peter, we recommend you get the Sulpha D and start treating them A.S.A.P. Sulpha D is a treatment for COCCIDIOSIS and ENTERITIS although we prefer Sulphaquin, we must say that Sulpha D has worked well for a very long time. It's still widely used by Parrot, Budgie and Finch breeders.

Thanks

OKay, ive got it,
It says for treatment of coccidiosis of cage birds, so i hope it works on chooks,
to give it to parrots it says 3-4 drops directly to the beak and 12 drops for every 30ml of water for 7-10 days (similar for canaries)
then it also says
"general Instructions" - give in the drinking water once a week 25ml per Litre of water, as a preventative for diarrhoea.
SO should i use the "general instructions"???

Hi Peter, go with the General Instructions, but treat them for 3 days and as they are young birds, on day 2 & 3 half the dose rate. You may need to repeat this 7 days later, but only if blood continues in their droppings.

Hi Peter, if they are back in the brooder, then put it in now. If not take the water away 4 hours before you begin treatment. Remember when you begin treating them it must be the only source of water.

P.S The Medicated starter is only a booster for the immune system so it's no guarantee, unfortunately

Thanks
