Bloody Poop Dead Chick

[FloridaChick88]

Hi all,
I woke up this morning to find one of my 8 week old chicks dead in the run. There was bloody poop both in the run and inside the coop however there was no blood on the rump feathers of this chick. After inspecting my other 3 chicks I found that another ones bum feathers have blood in it so I think he is responsible for the bloody stool. Is it coccidiosis? I live in florida so it is very wet constantly. The "baby coop" is right next to my big girls coop so that they can get used to seeing one another. Should I medicate them all with Corid or just the babies??? Please help!

Yes it is most likely Cocci.
I would treat everyone, even if some do not have it the Corid will not hurt them.
Here are the correct dosage amounts for Corid:
CORID dosing

Thank you so much for the dosing information. I just left Tractor Supply with the corid. Heading home to treat everyone now.

I was only able to save 1 of the 4 chicks. I think that the 3 who passed were too weak to fight off the infection once I started medicating them. They just got sick so fast and died so quickly after showing symptoms. The bloody stool started on a Friday and by Sunday morning the 3 had died. The baby that did survive is doing very well and growing like a weed. It still makes me sad that I was only able to save the one, but if anything this was a learning experience.

Great!
Thanks for the update.
Coccidiosis kills pretty fast. I'm glad you were able to save at least one.
