How old are they? How long have you had them? Any new chickens added lately?

You can start them all on Corid. It needs to be their only water source for the week they’re being treated. Dose is 1.5 tsps powder per gallon of water made fresh daily. If they have a coccidiosis problem this should take care of it. There is a dosage chart on here somewhere I can try to find

They are 3 years- a couple weeks
Only new ones are the babies a hen hatched.

Coccidiosis pretty unlikely then unless it is from the chicks…but even then. Do you have a picture of the poo? Could it be intestinal shed?

Worms can also cause blood in the droppings. Worming with fenbendazole 10% SafeGuard Liquid Goat Wormer 1/4 ml (0.23 ml) per pound of weight for 5 consecutive days is the treatment for most worms in chickens.
