Bloody/mucousy poops more than one bird.

Thank you everyone! I feel good about this and I have enough corid to last me until 2021, when it expires.

Keep it near by for all future chicks/new birds brought in.

Are your birds going to drink 5 gallons of water in one day?

Mix only the amount they drink in 24 hours. Make fresh batch every 24 hours.

Noted! I had planned to switch it every other day but now I see that's not the best idea.

Thank you.

OK, so I bought the liquid and I will try the drop method tonight on the bad one.

I did 25ml in a 5 gal bucket but your info means I need to add another 25, so thank you! I went off the dosage on the bottle.

The instructions on bottle are for cattle and cattle don't get as much as chickens. Ignore the directions and use 10 ml (2 teaspoons) per gallon.

Yep, I went back and did that. I also gave 3 of them a few drops before they were away for the night (as someone upthread suggested but I can't remember if it was KikisGirls or one of the Egg names). The other two were not so keen and I didn't want to hurt them.

It's almost sun up so I will be letting them out soon and see how they're doing. As my older kid says, "It's almost chick'o'cluck!"

They are all doing much better now, tomorrow is the fifth day and it's looking like they won't need more than that but I will keep a close eye on them. Thanks everyone!

That is good news. You can give some vitamins and probiotics for a few days after Corid to get their guts bacteria back to normal. Thanks for the update.
