Coxy are some of the most interesting little organisms, in my opinion anyway. The life cycle of Imeria, which causes coccidiosis and birds, begins in the bird. Their microscopic eggs are shed in their inactive form and feces. Once on the ground, the correct environmental conditions can prompt them to activate, mature, and spoil it. They prefer for it to be warm and wet. At this point, they can cause infection, if ingested in high enough numbers.
