Blood in poop = Coccidiosis, also feather loss and breathing problems

I have some amprolium and was going to start giving it to them, they still lay eggs at the moment but I am super worried about them.

I can't tell whether my birds still have lice or not, I use both diatomaceous earth and permathin to kill them twice to make sure the eggs can't survive, I haven't found any knits either as now. I thought the red patches on their skin they have might be from the sun or from some sort of fungul infection so I decided to spray blue coat for a while but the feathers on the belly of one of my hens have never truly grown back, I heard aloe vera is a good solution for the patchy redness.

I treated the birds a long time ago for their breathing issues with Tylosin but they still seem to have some issues so I will be bathing them and cleaning the dirt out of there noses.

I also used Amoxicillin to try to deal with one of my hens reproductive issues.

I just hope they aren't infected with anything, one of my hens, even though they have such a large area to walk around managed to catch bumblefoot again so I have enough issues on my hands.

Blood in the stool is very unlikely to be from coccidia at the point of laying age hens if they have been on your property for a length of time. They would long have acquired resistance to the protozoa.
Tylosin is for bacteria. Are you sure the problem wasn't viral, fungal or environmental?
I can't say for sure, but I don't think red skin patches would be from either sun exposure or fungus. Where in the world are you located.
How would an antibiotic (amoxicillin) correct a reproductive issue? What is the reproductive issue?

I wanted to add that bumblefoot is always initially from a wound on the foot that picks up a staph infection. Something on your property or in the coop that causes a scratch or wound in the footpad.

Thank you for the information.

I ended up using the tips from this thread I made for help with my sick hen and other hens.
 
I have an update, one or two of my hens seems to have pooping a lot of orangeish poop as of late, I heard its only a bad sign if its often so its worried me. Also The hens still have the rash problems and the feather issues and their breathing problems.

Should I clean their nose? I also heard aloe vera was good for the rash as opposed to blue coat, what aloe vera gell is safe for hens that I could get at my own local store?
 
I have some generic store bought aloe vera, can anyone tell me if this is good for burns?

Bump, please help me if you can.
