Bloody stool in 2 month old chicks

[OverEasyAcresSC]

A friend of mine has chicks that are about 2 months old, he bought them from a guy on Craigslist and at first they were all doin great til recently one had bloody stool and died. He treated them with the coccidia vaccine and now it seems a few more of his chicks have bloody stool and seem to be laying on their side when they lay down. Any suggestions of what this could be? Or any suggestions of some further actions to take?

The Coccidiosis vaccine will not treat the disease if they already have it. It is meant to be given when they are young chicks, so that they build immunity. If they already have Coccidosis, it won't help at all.

Your friend needs to treat with Corid (amprolium). This is a coccidiostat sold at feed stores, usually in the cattle/large livestock section. It treats all nine strains of Coccidiosis. It comes in both a powder and liquid form. Give 1.5tsps per gallon of water when using the powder, and 2 tsps per gallon of water when using the liquid. Give for 5-7 days. You should notice improvement by the third day.
