Blood in stool

I'd start the introduction as planned if you don't object to doing Corid for all the chickens in order to finish the course of treatment while also working on integration.

I started my bigger chickens on Corid water this morning, one of my bigger ones has been acting off. Her comb is a pale red and she has been acting sluggish/her movements are a bit slower then normal, and she recently started trying to separate herself from the rest of the flock. At first I thought it was the heat (we have been having upper 90s F to low 100s F), but everything I have tried to keep her cool, there hasn't been any improvement. So I started all of the bigger ones on Corid this morning, just to be safe and see if she shows any improvement. She is the only one that appears that something is wrong. So I'm hoping the Corid water helps her, because I don't know what else it could be if it doesn't work.

Hopefully that's what it is, and if not, at least the Corid treatment will do no harm.

Thank you. I'm really hoping that's what's wrong with her. I'm just waiting until morning to see if there is any progress. I don't want to speak to soon and jinx anything but this afternoon she seemed to move a bit faster and appeared a bit more lively/energetic, and wasn't trying to seperate herself from the rest of the flock the way she did the day before. So I'm really hoping that the Corid does help, and hopefully I'm not speaking to soon.

There is no egg withdrawal with Corid.

If the younger birds are in a completely separate enclosure, then you only need to treat the younger ones if you don't see any lethargy or bloody stool from the older group. Corid water should be their only water source during treatment.

As Eggcessive noted, no withdrawal time on Corid. You can safely eat those eggs if you do treat the older birds with Corid.

My bigger chick has shown no improvement on the Corid water. Today she is worse then she has been. I made a post yesterday in the Emergencies section. It was suggested to give her calcium citrate, I wasn't able to find any in the town I live in, so will be driving the almost hr to go to the next biggest town to see if I can find any.

But if either of y'all wouldn't mind looking at that post to see if y'all have any suggestions, I would greatly appreciate it. I'm trying not to panic and freak out, but I am panicking and so worried that she isn't going to make it.
