Blood ( I think ) in chicks poo

[Wyorp Rock]

Make a fresh batch each day - so only mix what you need. If they won't drink a whole gallon, make 1/2 gallon.

For 1/2 gallon of water mix in 1tsp of liquid Corid or 3/4tsp of Corid powder.

Oh I have the liquid but I did half of a teaspoon of liquid with half a gallon of water and split it up for them. They always get freshwater in the evening also so I didn’t get them but so much. Plus they just went out to free range for the day so even though I put the bowl of water out there for them they’re probably not gonna care. But I’m not letting the little ones free range yet and they drink a lot of water for their size.

Thank you guys.... all of you for your help and knowledge. I don’t know what I would Do sometimes if I didn’t have my BYC community to turn to. Don’t know how I did it before. Hopefully all goes well like I said none of them seemed off so hopefully a got in them quick enough to solve the problem. I hope

2 teaspoons of 9.6% Corid liquid per gallon of water is the "formula" so increase the amount of Corid to 1 teaspoon for 1/2gallon of water

You want to make sure they only have Corid water to drink during the 5-7days of treatment.

Found more poop with little blood in the chicks areas upon inspection this morning. They began the corid around noon yesterday. Is there a certain amount of time before I should stop seeing that? They all still eating drinking and acting fine

If they are eating/drinking/active, then continue with the normal Corid dosage. If you find one that is off or becoming lethargic, the I would also give that individual an oral drench (direct dose) along with making the Corid water available.
