Just got back from Vets office that ran a fecal on my chicks (11 wks old) with bloody poop. They still saw coccidia, not a heavy load but the Vet wanted to treat for colitis. I've already treated with Corid 3 -4 times so I was surprised at still seeing coccidia. They said to get Tylan powder...

Hi, I am new to keeping chickens. My daughter talked me into getting 6 buff orph. chicks about 3 wks ago. They were doing fine until a couple of days ago I lost the runt. I figured it was meat to be since she was so much smaller, not thriving. Then yesterday one of the other chicks started...
