Chick pooped out blood!

Yes, two teaspoons Corid to one gallon water. Or reduce proportions since you will need to mix this up fresh each day.

It was just blood. There was no poop in it, it was just blood. The chicks are about two weeks old. And I've had four die so far. Only the bantams are dying. They live with a brahma, a faverolle and a cochin.

They have a heat lamp and a heat plate. They only went into our yard for like five minutes. And no chickens went by them.

Can you post some photos of your brooder setup?
You have both a heat plate and a heat lamp? Ducks are with them or am I misunderstanding...

I agree, I would treat for Coccidiosis.

This is the brooder!

You've had 4 die, did they have any symptoms?

You are seeing them eat and drink right? What's in the 4 containers - feed in 2 and water in 2?

Yes, I really only need two one water and one feeder but I gave them two of each because the bigger ones don't let the small ones eat. And I go dump out the feeders and waterers every day so they stay really clean. The chicks had no symptoms at all.

No that's fine, it makes sense.
Sometimes larger or older chicks can keep the others away.
You may want to spread out the food/water a little more so they aren't so crowded, this way the little ones don't get cornered when trying to eat.
Are the littles eating their fill or having trouble with the size of the feed? Sometimes I have to put chick starter in a the food processor to break it down smaller for the first few weeks if the crumbles are large.

Do they use the brooder plate at all? Probably camp out on top don't they

Looks like you have plenty of space in the brooder.
