I should add all ladies seem healthy in behaviour, eating and drinking, preening etc.
They aren’t laying yet.
One just started squatting 2 days ago so hopefully soon!
My flock of adolescent hybrid layers have got liquid poop for the last 2 days and I’ve been treating for coccidiosis but haven’t noticed much/any improvement.
Shouldn’t it be taking effect by now?
Gross poop photos attached. In the 2nd pic it looks like undigested pellets coming out.

We’ve only had these 4 for a few days so no eggs from any yet, I put that down to the change of environment.
No other respiratory symptoms, clear eyes and nose, no sneezing or coughing (not sure what that looks like in a chicken but not notices anything out of the ordinary)

I haven’t stopped feeding them, only the first night but I’ve had their food on offer, even tried scrambled egg which they usually love… they just look at it and turn away.
I don’t think it is sour crop because of...
Could it be worms? Would you get such bloody diarrhoea with worms?
Not sure how to treat for coccidiosis and worms at the same time when both need to be mixed with their drinking water?? Mix them in together?
Two sick chickens, about 10-12 weeks old. 2 have already died.
It started with one sick looking lethargic chicken, we I picked her up fluid came out her mouth. I vomited her and then brought her inside overnight giving her only water thinking it was sour crop. She had very watery poop, by the...
