Cocci or intestinal lining?

[olilandy]

I picked up 3 pullets from a local poultry farm on Saturday. They have been vaccinated and are on medicated feed. They seem to be happy & I’ve witnessed them drinking and eating. Making sure these babies don’t die on me makes me a nervous wreck! Please help me identify if they are ok or not. Thank you!

Intestinal shed.
What are they vaccinated for? If they're vaccinated for coccidiosis and they're eating medicated feed, they cancel each other out.

Thank you for your reply. I believe they are vaccinated for mareks, mycoplasma, fowl pox, and dewormed.

They're a little too young to be dewormed, what did they use?

I’m not sure. I just know that when I ordered them they said at pickup the 2 month olds would be fully feathered, living outside, vaccinated and dewormed.

that's a bit suspicious. They're probably fine, just intestinal shed.

Welcome To BYC

Since they are new to you and your property, you've had them since Saturday? I'd go ahead and start them on Corid.
Liquid Corid dose is 2tsp or Powdered Corid Dose is 1 1/2tsp per gallon of water given for 5-7 days as the only source of drinking water.
Do not add any extra vitamins/electrolytes that contain B1(Thiamine) to food or water during the course of treatment.

Very likely what you are seeing is some intestinal shedding, perhaps stress, change of feed, etc. but the poop is not quite right imo.
