Chicken S#!%

[Rynell24]

New chicken mom here. I have 11 chickens from 2 breeders. They are 3-4 weeks old. Last week I treated for corid (precautionary afternoon I saw a bloody-looking poop). It has been 6 days since the treatment and I Saw this poop. Is this normal? Do I need to treat again?

What dosage of Corid (amprollium) did you use in a gallon of water? How are the chickens acting, and eating?

The usual dosage of Corid that most chicken owners use is the maximum or severe outbreak dosage—2 tsp or 10 ml of the liquid Corid per gallon of water for 5-7 days. Or use 1.5 tsp of the powder per gallon. You may also do a second treatment of 1/3 the dosage for an additional 5 days.

Thank you! I Did 1tsp per gallon. For 4 days.
ahould I retreat or is it normal

No that is not normal, but there is still blood. I would treat with 2 tsp per gallon for a full 5 days.

Thank you @Eggcessive and @alwaysthere4chickens. Greatly appreciated. They are all active and acting normal. I am re-treating with 2 tsp per gallon for the next 5 days.
