Bloody Diarrhea

[Graceful Acres]

I'm sure there are answers to this question but I'm not finding it at this moment.

Was cleaning out chicken coop this morning where I have 8 week old big chicks. I noticed one has bloody D. Not sure if any others have but I did see the one. What do I need to give her? Meds? Add anything to their water? Sorry...but never seen this before. Thanks!!

Corid in the water

How much? I think their waterer is a gallon container.

Can you post some photos of the poop?
If you are seeing bloody poop, make Corid available to the whole group.

Corid dosage is 1 1/2 teaspoons Corid powder or 2 teaspoons of 9.6% Corid liquid per gallon of water.
Give for 5-7 days - make sure this is the ONLY water available during that time period. Mix a fresh batch at least once a day.

Thank you much! Here is the best pic. They are in a coop above this. There is a small area that has wire (it was formally a rabbit hutch) and this fell through to the underneath where I have pads down to catch nasty.

I thought I would add...no one acts the least bit sick or droopy or anything else. Will get the Corid and start today.

Thank you for the photo. If I saw that I would start Corid. It's mild and safe when used correctly.

If you can identify which chick is pooping that, you may want to give it an Oral Drench in addition to making the Corid water available.

Also, just curious, what type of feed are you feeding your 8wk olds?

 

[Graceful Acres]

I purchased the liquid Corid and have now put some in their water. I am feeding Purina organic starter/grower.

 

[Graceful Acres]

Yes, I'm pretty sure which one it is.

Ok...My girls is acting sick this morning. I do not have a scale to weigh her. Can someone give me an approx. weight? I need to give her some Corid. She is 8.5 weeks old. An Americana, I believe. Fairly big girl.
