They'll never grow with this formulation. It's an imbalanced formula.

I advise you take other drugs like embazin forte and use the right dosage (3ml/5 liters) for three days.

High or low dosage could make your chicks resistant to the diclosol.
The recommended dosage and Administration is below and its given continuous for 2 days

Add 1 ml DICLOSOL liquid / 4 liters of drinking water (2.5ppm) for 48 hrs.

In severe cases :
Add 1 ml DICLOSOL liquid / 2 liters of drinking water (5ppm) for 48 hrs.

I'll advice you administer alongside with Admacine in case it happens to be enteritis. It has similar symptom with coccidiosis

Re: Starting A Poultry Farm (a Blog) by OlujobaSamuel: 12:18pm On May 07, 2017
Pls I need help.
My birds are dying. I discovered fowl pox infection in some birds about two weeks ago. Treated them with Pox off, Viramix and Antibiotics for about 4days, I gave them once in a day and thereafter give them Vitamin(Samovit plus Superliv), but I discovered that few were not eating again as they ought to. I suspected that the combination was too powerful, so I stopped and continue with the vitamin.
However, the birds(layers and cockerel) are still lacking appetite and are dying.
I also noticed that there is reduction in egg size, thus affecting my selling price.
What can I do to rectify this problem.
NB: The cockerels were not having signs of the pox, I only gave them as preventive measures. I vaccinated them together.
I also have broilers', although younger than the duo, but there were not affected as I never gave them the drug.
Thanks

The watery white/green poop means the chicks are not eating well. Its better you serve some good multivitamin with a chick mash feed. If possible, buy a commercial (Chick Mash) to confirm whether its from the feed.

White comb? Could be favus, a fungus
What others Signs apart from the White comb? Powdery spots/wrinkled crusts, Feather loss, Thick crusty skin or Loss of condition.
Re: Starting A Poultry Farm (a Blog) by Turks: 8:04pm On May 07, 2017
1) you have to be wary of them feed millers. No biosecurity whatsoever in place.

2) Looks like you have a case of NCD on your hands

I will recommend gumbocine to treat it in case it is a fungal infection.
Re: Starting A Poultry Farm (a Blog) by Turks: 8:07pm On May 07, 2017
I agree. Admacine or Gumbocine + Polidine for 5 days should do the trick. After which he'd have to administer La Sota to the whole flock.

Lasota vaccine again?
Re: Starting A Poultry Farm (a Blog) by Turks: 8:10pm On May 07, 2017
Yessir. Lethargy has set in alongside green poo. Those are pointers. The Fowlpox is something else all together which can be treated after they must have improved.
