[QUOTE="snake67, post: 1072257, member: 17764"] I think it is an easy fix - and you have started. Pen the chickens or give them the chop. If you pen them make sure you clean up around them and do not cross contaminate with water, hoses, feed, buckets and the like. The penning is a start but you have to be careful about so much - even your boots will carry the stuff. You come to our place we make you put on plastic booties to walk in the pen areas. Cocci is to the best of my knowledge NOT host specific We raise cattle, sheep and chickens - they all have it and they are always carrying it - and yes in my experience they can spread it from one to another. We never bother with the pellets or powder - we always put the liquid amprol right in the drinking water - and we treat for 14 days when it comes along. In fact if it looks like it is going to be a bad problem we do not stop treating until the fecal samples come back from the lab as clean. And the secret is fecals - if you are not doing them you are working on "I think" and "it looks like". We do those fecals with the sheep on a monthly basis when in the pens and with cattle as required. Not a lot of fun but you get used to doing things - and once they are grown and gone or grown and have some immunity you should be good. Best to you Bruce [/QUOTE]
