Yeah, actually if you go back and look at the photo I posted of them sleeping, it is visible on the right side of her neck.
I also just noticed possible blood in her stool, not much, but that also worries me.

Also, if anyone can help me. Is it normal for chicks to mostly poop stuff that looks kind of like the food they are eating? I expected much more a a bird poop look. Also a lot of foamy yellow ones.

Uh-oh. You need to go back to Tractor Supply and pick up some Corid! It is found with the cattle stuff. It comes in either packets of powder or bottles of liquid. @Eggcessive or @Wyorp Rock can help you with a correct dosage amount. In the meantime, can post a picture of the poo?

If it's coccidiosis, Corid needs to be administered ASAP! Coccidiosis is a common disease in young chickens.

Can you post some photos of the poop?
I would get the vitamins into the chicks and see if there's improvement. Do you know which one had bloody looking poop?
Photos of the one that you think is a Mushy Chick would be good too.

Here's the dosing chart again. You can save the image that way you have it and can give it out when you need to

Thanks for help guys. Let me get this photo posted, this morning I could only find dry poop with blood. But I think the red is noticeable, it isnt a lot and the chick that has it is the one who cant lift his head. Ill also go take a photo of the other chicks belly.

I definetly see the redness in the poo. I'd start Corid ASAP!

 

[ManWithChicks]

Im going to go pick up the Corid. Its the only chick that seems to have it though, is that normal? THey are all in the same room, do I need to treat all of them? Or treat as I see symptoms? Here is a photo of the other chick that I think is mushy. The little dot on the wound is just a piece of feed that I didnt wipe off before photo.

Yes, I'd treat all the chicks. Coccidiosis is contagious. To be on the safe side, I'd change that towel, clean their feeder and waterer. @Wyorp Rock what are your thoughts on that chicks belly?
