Have you seen any droppings from this chick, are they normal? If droppings are not normal then it may be coccidiosis. The chick is a little young for it, but it's not impossible. Corid is the treatment, it's very safe, if in doubt I would start that. Coccidiosis can kill quickly. Corid is...
How long have they been getting the Corid so far? You can give any that are acting sick, or that you know have bloody poops an oral dose in addition to the medicated water. Dosing for that is here: https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/corid-oral-drench-instructions.1211991/

The poop shown doesn't indicate anything. The symptoms you describe do sound like possible coccidiosis overload, so yes Corid is what you'd want. It is not a medication, it's a thiamine inhibitor. Make sure to give the full course of treatment (dilution and duration here...
It's been a while since I've seen anyone using medicated feed with Bacitracin. This is generally fed to broilers, but it can be used for any type of growing chicks.
Yes, you can finish the course of treatment with the Corid at the Outbreak Dose, (2tsp liquid corid or 1 1/2tsp powdered corid...
...in 10days.
IF it's some other type of worm, please get photos so we can help you with correct dosing and information.
Thanks!
Liquid Coriddose is 2tsp or Powdered CoridDose is 1 1/2tsp per gallon of water given for 5-7 days as the only source of drinking water.

Nope, just finish the course of treatment and then if you're concerned with the thiamine issue, you could do a dose of B vitamins after the Corid treatment is completely finished.
If she were mine I would get her started on Corid asap. At this age coccidiosis is very common. Symptoms are lethargy, sitting fluffed up, going off food and water, runny, mucousy or bloody droppings. I see what looks like intestinal lining in that dropping and maybe mucous. Corid is very...
...best you can to get her hydrated, then eating. Wet mushy feed with bits of egg or if you wish, you can tube her if necessary.

I have two pullets we have been raising since they were 2 days old. Last month we noticed bloody poop from one of them. No other symptoms at all. Started Corid treatment right away (2 tsp per gallon) and treated everyone including 4 older hens. We also cleaned up their droppings daily (sand...
I would always use the maximum treatment dose if using Corid. That is 2 tsp (10 ml) of the liquid or 1.5 tsp of the powder per gallon of water for 5-7 days. Then, you can reduce that dosage to 1/4, and treat for an additional 5 days. Do you notice one that is hunched and not eating or drinking...
Would you know what dose i need to put in a chick waterer as a preventive? Life happened and i got some chicks this evening. They have been vaccinated against that sickness so that’s good
Thank you-- a couple days ago, I realized my Corid had expired so I got a new bottle "just in case". So that's a good thing, I can literally start today. I have always done 2 tsp/gallon in the past so wasn't even thinking about a smaller dose-- though that's tempting since the weather is hot...
Yes, I agree, I have seen that before too.
I unlocked the thread I started in 2015, and will share this there too.
I am sure it is an everyday thing in chicken world,
I dont run into many issues over the years but this one I wanted upfront. With the shortage of chickens, folks need to save as...
...the new birds?
What are you feeding?
It won't hurt to treat for Coccidiosis. I would get some Corid (Amprolium) and treat them.
