Bloody stools

You can find Corid in the cattle section of Tractor Supply. I would begin treating them ASAP.

Liquid Corid dose is 2tsp or Powdered Corid Dose is 1 1/2tsp per gallon of water given for 5-7 days as the only source of drinking water.
Do not add any extra vitamins/electrolytes that contain B1(Thiamine) to food or water during the course of treatment.

Ok I got some but the directions say 2 TBSP not 2tsp so do I do 2 tsp just cause they’re chicks or do I do 2 TBSP??

Just follow what Wyorp Rock said. Those directions are for cattle.

I did cause I figured it out afterwards. I only put two tsp. But they are not drinking the water so I need to leave it there at least for two days for them to hopefully drink. I have 10 - 9 hens and 1 rooster that will be drinking from the gallon water trough I have for them and my husband blocked off the nesting boxes so they have to sleep on the perches. They are 5 months old and need to perch. I think I spoiled them lol I know that has nothing to do with the coccidiosis I’m just talking.

Directions on the bottle is for Cattle.
The dose is 2 teaspoons per gallon of water for Poultry.

They are not drinking water at all? Do they have another water source or?

Depending on how your coop is setup, they may prefer using boxes instead of roosting. Do you have photos of the inside?
At that age, sometimes they still like to cuddle and hunker down, but eventually will roost on their own if the roosting area is relatively easy to access and bars are comfortable.

Some I see drinking but not the others. They only have that one source right now cause I poured the other water out. Should I have two sources of water with the corid in it? Yes they do still like to cuddle they do still prefer the nesting boxes but I guess we wanted to train them to be on the perch which is squared off I told my husband to round the edges cause they don’t see to like to stay on them only for a little bit.

They may be using the nesting boxes since they are higher than the roosts/perches. They have an instinct to get high. If you move the roosts higher up, don't put them right over the boxes or they will defecate into the boxes when they are sleeping at night.

I agree.
They are going to the highest point which is the comfort of the nesting boxes. (they all do look quite cozy in there don't they)

Move the boxes lower and leave the roosting bars about the same height they are now or a little higher.
I would round the edges of the bars if possible, I think that would be better too.

Thank you I will have my husband try to move everything down and maybe move the perches higher on a different wall. Good information I appreciate it

Oh hmm ok but last night the boxes were blocked and even though the perches were higher then the ground they opted to cuddle in a corner on the ground instead of the roostgo figure
