Bloody Poop not Cocci

[mseely]

I have a 1 year old black austrolorp who pooped bloody poo two days ago. I immediately started her on 1.5 tsp corid/1 gallon of water. Last night she still has bloody poop. She hasn't been laying recently and is still eating and drinking but has lost some mass. I'm worried for her and I'm having a hard time figuring out what else causes bloody poo besides cocci? Thanks for any info!

Things that can cause bloody droppings besides coccidiosis are campylobacteriosis, infectious bursal disease and exotic Newcastle.

I’m having the same problem with my chick with splay leg. A young girl around a 1/2 or so months, black and a little bit white. Someone suggested it was Coccidiosis. Check if the chick is acting up.

How long would it take these to kill the chicken? I haven't had any others die and she seems to be the only one affected by it. She has a pretty pale comb too, I'm wondering if she ate something she should have like something sharp. They occasionally get into my garage.

It's an older hen but I've administered meds for Cocci, and she is still pooping blood after 2 days. How is your chick doing?

Corid (amprolium) does *not* treat all strains of coccidiosis, and they need to drink enough medicated water for it to work if it is a strain that is sensive to amprolium.

I'm guessing you have the Corid powder? If so, give her a drench in addition to her medicated water.

Mix 1/2 teaspoon powder with 2 teaspoons of water and give 0.34 ml per pound *orally* once or twice a day for 1-3 days.

The above works out to about 1.7 ml per five pounds. Don't worry about giving too much because amprolium is very safe.

Thanks Kathy I will try this!

My chick is done with bloody poops that I’ve noticed. I’ve been gone for 3 days and she is doing pretty good!
