Bloody poop — 3 day old chick — help?

[chough02]

Got baby chicks yesterday. They all seem to be doing fine. Except I just saw a shaving with poop that looked a little bloody (pictured). Should I be worried, if so what should I do about it?

Coccidiosis? The chicks are probably 3-4 days old. I have Corid available. Is that acceptable to give to chicks this young? And if so how to dose?

I also have colloidal silver, would this be an effective treatment? And okay for babies?

@Eggcessive for Corid.
Colloidal silver will not help with coccidiosis if that is what the problem is. Best used as a topical treatment for small injuries.

Corid will be fine for them. I've never heard anything about silver but I doubt it.
