Baby chick pooping blood!!

[Bluemystic]

Hi everyone!
Yesterday I noticed my baby check had red on his poop and I googled it and it said it was completely normal. This morning I went to check on them and gave them food and changed their water. I noticed that this baby chick is acting strange. She is being very slow and I haven’t seen her poop yet to see if this is still on going but I’m getting worried it might be something bad has anyone gone through this or has any medication I can give her??

it sounds like cocci. Do you have Corrid? Corrid is probably the best to treat for cocci. I wouldn't just google as machines are not very good regarding correct answers.

Unfortunately, I don’t. I have been searching online on where I can buy it, I’m thinking of going to tractors supply today and see if they have it.

Tractor supply has it most of the time. It’s labeled as medicine for cows, but it’s used with a different dosage on chickens/chicks.


Can you post a photo of the poop and the chick?

That is definitely a lot of blood in the dropping. Get Corid liquid or powder right away. Dosage is 2 tsp of the liquid or 1.5 tsp of the powder per gallon of water for 5-7 days. Treat all chicks at the same time. Change it daily. Keep droppings cleaned up and make sure the bedding is dry as possible.
