Bloody poop in brand new 5 week olds. Help ASAP please.

Do I treat with powder in food? It was one poop of many and I don’t know which pullet it came from. All are acting great. This sucks. Just got them a few days ago.

It is the right age for coccidiosis.
Treat the whole flock with Corid in the water. It should be available at most feed stores.

Definitely treat for coccidiosis as it is better to be safe than sorry. However there is a chance it is just intestinal lining being shed as the stress of being moved when you got them is a common cause of this.

Can I use the powder in food or must be the liquid in water? Powder is much stronger. 20% meds vs 9% CORID

Are they doomed to die?

X3 treat for coccidiosis. It is better to do it just in case, than to wait. Get Corid (amprollium) liquid or powder from your feed store cattle section. Dosage is 2 tsp of the liquid or 1.5 tsp of the powder per gallon of water, and treat for 7 days.

Use either the powder or the liquid in the water only.

Powder in food or need liquid for water? Sorry for taking your time. Very upset.

I just don't like how a powder product gets to all the birds in feed. They are all going to drink and all the water is at the same strength. Even if you mix the powder perfectly with the feed, some of the powder will end up on the bottom of the feeder and not all the chickens will be eating all the feed all the time if they are out with forage.
Both powder and liquid can be mixed with water.

Use the liquid or the powder in the water. It soesn’t matter which, and the dosage is in post 6. Chicks with coccidiosis may stop eating.
