I have 6 chicks, 2 & 3 wks old. They're on medicated feed. I just saw one poop bright watery blood & there's a pretty strong odor coming from the bin I just cleaned last night. I'll head out first thing this morning for Corid, but wondering if there are other possibilities, like worms.
Pertinent info : 2 of the chicks were vaxed for cocci & Marek's, the other 4 aren't. I thought I saw one of the vaxed chicks eat a poop with a long stringy worm the first day or two I had them. Subsequent poops looked thin & stringy but I couldn't positively ID a worm. Mentioned it to the breeder & he kind of shot it down as a possibility in such a young chick. But I commented they didn't appear to be thriving compared to the others. They're eating & growing but just haven't seemed as healthy.
So should I treat with Corid only, or give them de-wormer as a precaution?
And what product/dosage do I use?
I have Ivermectin on hand but that's it.
Thanks in advance for any advice!
