There's no way to know whether it's bad on not(?)

Take a fresh sample to your vet for testing of Cocci and worms. This will give you more information.


Did you already finish the Corid treatment?

Today was day 5.,Everyone seems much more alert and gaining some weight not as fast as it was lost but they seem well. I'm just worried that it didn't get it all and I'm not really sure about treating with Corid again. Bringing in poo on Monday

So it's back with a lot of blood this time? I started treating again today. How long should I do it this time.

Can you post some photos of the poop?


Corid dosage is 1 1/2 teaspoons Corid powder per gallon or 2 teaspoons of 9.6% Corid liquid per gallon.
Give for 5-7 days - make sure this is the ONLY water available during that time period. Mix a fresh batch at least once a day.

After they finish treatment (5-7 days) offer some poultry vitamins and probiotics/plain yogurt.

Keep us posted.

@GMOfreeMama
  are you needing some help?

I will post pictures this evening. Is there anything else I can do to make their lives easier. They are free ranged.

How old are your chickens?
How long have you had them?

Were you able to take another sample to the vet for testing?

Make sure the Corid water is the only source of water available. If they have other sources while free ranging, then you may want to keep them penned until you finish treatment.

I've had 4 of them for about a year they are 1.5 years old. The rest I've had since January and they are a few mos old. I don't have any extra water out, only 4 treated watering stations. I'm afraid my favorite older hen is the one with the bloody bloody poo. Should I keep them locked in their coop? I feel like that might stress them out, but I will do anything that helps

If the only water sources would be what you give them, the no, I wouldn't lock them in the coop. You don't want to stress them for sure.

Examine your older hen to see if she has a prolapse or anything like that - is she still laying eggs? She may have some type of reproductive disorder that is causing bloody poop, but you would want to have her sample tested just to rule out cocci overload, worms or bacterial infection.

Hopefully she will improve with the Corid.
