Check if it is bleeding from a injury. If there is blood in the poo the chick has internal problems and may not make it . you should separate them for sure until you know what is happing with the chick. Speak with the seller see if they have more with the same bleeding . and perhaps exchange the chick . good luck with this .

I called them and he acted surprised! He doesn't raise chickens for pets....it's a business. I just got some oxytetracycline for her. But I'm no mathematician. I can't figure out how much to put in. It's a qt size water bowl. Any suggestions ? It says 200-400 mg/gal

1/4th teaspoon or make it look like lime Gatorade treat for 7 to 10 days fresh every day if they have been together treat both .is this the yellow powder ?

Yes it is the yellow powder. I'll treat both. Thanks for the info.

you could double check dosage or post also at "emergencies, diseases, injuries, cures," thread, he may not have coccidiosis, he could have something wrong internally, or parasites.
