Chickens under 2 months dropping like flys,no noticeable symptoms

Pics
Started Corid about 830am, it's currently 650pm here and I've lost 2 more chicks. I geeked through chicken turds like a madwoman looking for blood (and getting sample) but found no blood. Maybe it's happening but I haven't seen it. The chicken barn is noticeably more quiet,it's so sad. They all look so healthy when they die it's frustrating.

9 times out of 10 you won't even see blood with coccidiosis.
Are you giving them each a drench dose straight to the beak too?

I can probably name 15 or so things that can cause sudden death at that age.
I can't think of a more pressing need for a necropsy and lab work in a diagnostic facility than 17 chicks of various ages dying in short order in three different locations.

Your state lab necropsy prices are extremely cheap compared to mine.
I too highly recommend you spend the ten dollars to get an answer.
