His rear end looks normal. The poop pics look like it might be parts of intestinal lining that was shed...normal. I'd just keep an eye on his poop for a few days and watch for any increase in blood in the feces.

Noy quite right. Corid is a Thiamin [B1] blocker. It prevents the Coccidia from absorbing Thiamin which is a necessary nutrient for the organism. "Yummy food" isn't a real accurate description. As to the OP it doesn't sound or look like Cocci to me. I'd probably keep him seperated for a little while longer just to be on the safe side but I don't think there's a serious problem. You might try some yogurt to promote healthy gut flora.

I am recently going thru a cocci outbreak as well thats killed over 60% of my birds, wet and huid here in SWFL, also treated for mites and worms, used a medicated feed and meds in the H2O. It happened to me extremly quick within a 1 week period. DONT wait to treat!

It's a collection of pix of normal and abnormal chicken poo. Hard to tell where yours falls but *maybe* could be 'normal' with shed intestinal lining. Not a chicken vet - not even playing one on TV - but hope this helps.

Just trying to describe what it does without making it too complicated sounding was all.

I'm sure that's the case.
