Baby chicks with bloody poo

[Kbake]

So, after some quick research it looks like bloody stool could be Coccidiosis. But before treating, I would like other opinions…(also, wasn’t sure if treating them without them having it would be harmful)

So, picked up young pullets March 28. They hatched Feb 13. I wasn’t expecting young pullets that evening, so they got a higher protein feed that evening until the next day. Now they are in chick food.
I noticed some blood infrequently in their stool. Some poos are liquidity and bloody. But this morning when I looked and cleaned up the corner they slept in, poo was normal.
I can post photos this afternoon.
Also, they have been very much active, peeping a lot, climbing all over me. Normal peeper stuff

Your description of their droppings and their stance both hint to coccidiosis. You can treat them all with Corid/Amprolium without any negative effect on the ones not yet affected.

Just follow the instructions in this article by @casportpony

They are Mille Fleur Cochins! I thought they were the normal D’Uccle but this like two fun chickens merged together!
Both these girls are a lot of fun! I’m enjoying them both

My rooster, Chilly, still isn’t sure about them. But he will happily eat their food

Those are sweet looking chicks. Perhaps they were stressed by shipping. I would give the chicks Corid 2 tsp of the liquid or 1.5 tsp of the powder per gallon of water for 5-7 days to treat coccidiosis. Post pictures of any blood in poops.

I haven’t really had any since I got home!
I even switched their kennel bottom cover to doggy pee pads. No blood so far!
But I’ll post a pic as soon as I see it again
