So I had the Joy of having one of my kiddos come in with those sad eyes that just makes me go into rescuer mode faster then a Wylie Coyote with an ACME Rocket jet pack.

So I used this as my search:
Blood in Poop

Had a bunch of threads.. a bunch.

Here is the link with someone else's pictures (The OP #1) that nearly perfectly match the blood poop I witnessed today as I didn't have picture taken when we quickly cleaned it up.

Here are the other threads with very good info :

Post #5 has the details for mixing Corid clearly outlined at the gallon scale, the packages are at the 50-10+ gallons scales.
Page 2 has even more wisdom too!

And the note in post #2 for wisdom too.

I'm mixing for severe "just to be safe" given the blood in poop and when I got home one of the chickies is showing sluggish and laying in the nesting area of the coop. So, I'll be giving it a booster shot of drops reference to page 2 as well.

Dang it. I don't like having to worry about this after loosing 2 from other oddities last 5-6 days...... However, I am so thankful for this forums wisdom!
 
Okay, "Oreo" the bloody pooper is approximately 15 months old as of now.

The lil' Silkie chickie is actually 8 wks as of the next 7 days (I forgot which day it was hatched) it's the runt of the 1st litter. It's been hanging out in the nesting spot up in their coop. It's been just standing like this picture but, took the drops no problem. It's had a slight shiver too. So here's a picture of the lil one.... (Fingers crossed on upload)

Here's a shot of "Oreo" at approx 6-9 months old. She's the black n white lil girl in the middle of the middle row.

The first picture is recent, correct?

I'd be inclined to give that one a few drops of undiluted Corid orally, she does not look well.

This is exactly what I was thinking.

Sometimes birds that do not feel good do not drink enough which means they will not get enough of the Corid water mixture in them quick enough.

I highly recommend giving it a 'drench dose' straight to the beak now and again in the morning.

Yes, about 2 hrs ago as of this edit (21:50)
I did as stated in initial post & it did drink up the dropper drops.

That's why I said in initial post regarding your advice on page 2 of the thread linked above as well ;)

Oh! And thanks for the post #5 pics as well. That really helped my dyslexic brain when reading the bottles and packages with reference to 50+ gals.
