Ok, thank you. .296ml

I originally had honey in the water any they liked it, then I read not to add anything to the water so I stopped.

They yellowing anything other then cocci to worry about?

Thank you for your help!

Yellowing can be from quite a few things, but given their age, best to start with coccidiosis. Weigh all of them every day, and if they loose weight, time to re-think treatment.

These first set of 6 pics are from this morning (before they got their daily treatment). I started the treatment after our last discussion. .296ml of the 1/2tsp per 10ml solution and 1 1/2tsp Cordid/gallon. Girls are holding weight if not gaining 10g or so a day. Eating well and get excited when treats are out. They are also drinking water. Around 3/4 cup a day for two 400g chicks. The droppings were left shortly after I let them out to run in the house.

The second set of three pics were dropping after they had been running around for awhile. I see more of these than the other in the brooder.

Thoughts?

Also when can I start letting them back outside. I worry they are not getting enough outdoors exposure.

My sweet girl Winnie has this poop today. She has lost weight but others or seems normal. Other than being broody which is how this all started. She wouldn't come out of the box. We were attributing everything to brooding as but now I'm freaking out after this poop and her weight loss. Will try to get into the vet tomorrow emergently. Anything else I can do?

Best bet is to get her to a vet.

We've had a sad and catastrophic development overnight. I went out to check on Winnie at 10pm in the coop. She was "fine" but I noticed our other hen Henny was laying with her neck at a strange angle. I tried to pick her up and she was limp. I ran ran her into the house and within minutes she had 2 "convulsions" and then was dead.

We are devastated and now paying even closer attention to Winnie. I gave her 250 mg amoxicillin last night after the shock of losing Henny and the tears cleared away. She seems better this morning but hard to tell. We will continue this for 10 days. Her poops are more solid and a normal colour. We are showering her with love and food as she searches the yard for her pal Henny. This is the worst day ever.

The girl that is pooping this is not eating properly,try and locate her asap. Dark green indicates not eating. Could be so many different issues,b/c you mentioned there was a small amount of blood,have you considered Coccidiosis? Blood does not show in all species of cocci,but does in i believe two,yes older birds can have an overload/outbreak of Coccidiosis. Some symptoms are: runny/watery poop(may or may not contain blood,depends on which of the 11 strains it is)fluffed feathers,lethargic,not eating/drinking properly.weight loss,general look of unwell. Chickens will appear healthy even when very ill,this is a survival tactic,so you have to search her out. Check for impacted crop also.
