Well, we are on day 7 of corid and I'm still seeing blood in poop. I think I'm going to try and collect another sample or two soon and take them back up and look at them again. Also going to try and give the 3 sweetgrass a corid undiluted drench too. I keep thinking what if it's just shed liner? I don't think they shed liner almost daily though, do they? These happened overnight, which I hear is when they are most likely to shed liner, but I'll keep an eye out and see if I find anymore throughout the day. I'm about to just buckle up and take them to a vet to pinpoint what's wrong because trying to guess on 3 different things is so stressful lol

To me it almost just looks like some caruncles starting to growing in, but the pic is a little blurry so I can't say for sure.

He is standing around hunched up alot so I think he is sick with something. He had coccidiosis a few weeks ago so I think his immune system is weak.

I think the stuff about shed intestinal lining is BS. How often do people shed intestinal lining in their poop? Alot of the time chickens recover from cocci on their own, so people think shed lining is normal.
Coccidia reproduce in the intestinal lining and causes the lining to shed. I don't think it sheds by itself.

Those of you who eat your turkey eggs, I'm wondering how long you boil them for a soft boiled egg? I love turkey eggs, but I've only had them fried or used them for baking so far. Thanks!

@daynedoe I discoveerd my poults have tapeworms over the weekend and I remembered you said the vet found worms in your fecal samples. I think the bloody poop might be worms and not cocci after all. This has pictures of the worms from my poult's fecal float: https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/help-identify-this-worm.1482831/post-24717089

That is not what I was expecting.

Fenbendazole/Panacur works for worms, right? Probably round worms? Went outside and for the first time ever found a wormy poop. I cannot get a break lol
