5 month old chicks

[Swilso3]

I call these chicks teenagers lol. My question is i treated the whole flock with Corid when i noticed yellow poops. Treatment or 7 days. I’m starting to see yellow poops again. Do i retreat? They are also on medicated chick starter since being in my flock. Just wanting to know.

SURELY you meant to label this thread "5 WEEK old...." and yet you do suggest they are "teenagers"...

At 5 months of age they are pullets and should be fed a finishing or layer diet not starter.

Ok.
So pictures of the poops can be useful here. So might this guide help here on.

PIctures of the poops in question would be helpful. Are ALL the droppings yellow, or just occasionally? Were they raised in a brooder and then put on the ground outside? When did they get moved outside? How do they act? Everybody seems normal and active, or does anybody seem 'off' or lethargic? Are they eating and drinking normally? How long ago did you treat with Corid, and what dosing?

1st one looks like normal cecal poop.
2nd one...are you seeing a lot of that or just now and again. It could be normal. You aren't seeing any lethargic puffed up chicks....everyone is eating/drinking well, active, etc.?
I think I would just watch and see how it all goes if they are acting fine.
You have Corid on hand if you need it.
