Cocci?

[4and20blackbrds]

I’ve just had the worst luck with my birds recently lol.

A couple of weeks ago these guys (5 chicks) finished a round of baytril for a respiratory something (it killed 3 of my hens… the other 2 responded to baytril… and I have 1 pullet that didn’t get sick)

Anyway… the chicks are now 4-5 weeks and 7-8 weeks. And there’s bloody looking poo in the brooder. Photos attached. I have no idea which one it is. They’re all acting normally.

I got unmedicated feed (big bag) when I switched my older chicks to it and then lost some (predators) so they’ve been on that and have been outside a few times.

Hard to tell from the photos if it's coccidiosis, but when in doubt, it's safer to treat for it. You can continue with the same feed but add Corid to the water for the whole group, so that way you ensure that everyone is getting a dose of it.
