Bloody Stools and 1 Month Old Chicks

You can give 1- 2 drops of the liquid corid directly to each chick. Drip it into the side of their beaks. This will give them a head start with it, especially if they are not drinking the Corid water.

Put one drop of the liquid into each chicks mouth now.
Also...Mix 2 teaspoons per gallon of water.
Mix a new batch each day and do it for 5 to 7 days.
Then continue with 1/3 teaspoon in the water daily for another 7 days.

Straight from the bottle of Corid is what I am talking about here with the one drop....not the mixed water.

I went home and gave them each 2 drops of straight corid. They seems to still be eating and drinking. Thank you both for the help. I hope this works.

I hope so too! Mine were all acting normal, with no more bloody poops, on day 3 of the Corid,

So I'm still putting Corid in the drinking water as prescribed and most of the bloody stools are gone. I'm down to where I'll find 1 or 2 bloody stools a day which is an improvement for sure. I plan on continuing this for another 3-5 days. All appear to be eating and drinking well.

My cream legbar chick is worrying me however. She is close her eyes a lot and the whites of her eyes are reddish. Is there anything else I should be doing?

 

[andreanar]

YOu can give her 1-2 drops of the straight Corid again. All I can think to do. I hope she pulls thru. Make sure shes eating and drinking the corid water too.

Hi @Marybeth912

How are your chicks doing?
Can you post some photos of the poop, the Cream Legbar's eyes and your brooder set-up?

How are giving the Corid - dosage and administration?
For the ones that are still pooping bloody looking stool - give them 2 drops of Undiluted Corid liquid 2X a day in addition to the Corid water.

I haven't found any new bloody poop as of this morning. When I get home from work if I find bloody poop then I'm going to sit down with them and my chart again and wait to see who's pooping what.

I started on Sunday by putting 1.2 - 1.5 mL of Corid in 1 pint of water. Changed out once, sometimes twice daily. On Tuesday I gave all of them individually ~2-3 drops of straight Corid. Yesterday the bloody stools had drastically decreased. Thanks

Glad to hear the bloody poop is decreasing

Thank you, I am very happy about that as well. Just worried about a couple of them who are looking a little unkempt and droopy, specifically the Cream Legbar. My Golden Cuckoo Marans is also on my special watch radar. I'd love to get your insight after I post photos. But I wont be able to post until around 7 pm EST.
