Bloody discharge-- Coccidiosis???

[cnorton]

Good morning, We need your advice. We have found this (see images) in our coop this morning. All birds are looking and acting normal, but what do you all think? Does this look like Coccidiosis? Our chicks will be 5 weeks tomorrow. They were not vacinated and we have not used medicated food. We are first time chick parents. This is our first post, but I've been following the forums for a while and really appreciate all the information. Thank you.

Looks like coccidiosis poop, all right. Better treat the entire flock regardless of lack of symptoms in the rest of them.

We are starting Corid now. Thank you for your help.

Do you have the powder or liquid Corid?
I highly recommend giving each one a drench dose straight to the beak in addition to mixing Corid with their water.

We have powder. I just found how to do drench dose (https://www.backyardchickens.com/articles/corid-amprolium-oral-drench-instructions.74391/)
These chicks, we have 8, are 5 weeks old. I'm not sure how much they weigh, but do you figure it is just a couple of drops of the drench dose to the beak? Is there anything important we should know about doing the drench dose? We have mixed the powder into their drinking water already.

And BTW, I noticed you are from Houston. I was born and raised there and have family in the area.
