Coccidiosis or Intestinal lining?

[Alipete21]

I have 2 possible cases.

1st is a chick in the brooder. She is 3 weeks old. Smaller than other chicks her age, but not vastly different. She was tiny from the start. Is acting a tad less rambunctious but not overly lethargic looking.

2nd is in my coop. Went to clean the poop shelf and it was on the roosting board. Pretty sure it’s from one of my 8 week olds just from where it was. But not a clue who. All seem normal and fine.

Started corid this morning just in case.

Thanks!!

Hmmm. How long has it been happening? Kinda looks like concidiosis to me...

Noticed it in the brooder box last night.
Noticed it in the coop this morning.

You can use peroxide to make the determination. The peroxide will bubble away the blood and leave everything else.

Good to know! Thanks. I cleaned up everything so if it happened again I will do that!

I would treat them with corid just in case. Concidiosis works very fast and chickens are very secretive when it comes to illness

That's blood.
Corid today.


How much Corid are you using?

Agree with @Kiki & @EChicky ... Start Corid ASAP for ALL your chicks.
The dose on the liquid is 9.6 ml's, or 2 teaspoons to make it easy, per gallon. So for a quart you would use 2.5 ml's, or half a teaspoon.

If you have Corid, start it. It is better to start treatment ahead of any other symptoms. It is safe, and change it daily.

I saw exactly the same thing, red stuff in the shavings. One of my chicks was also quite lethargic. When I checked her bum, I saw blood in the butt fluff, no sign of a pecking injury.

As @Kiki said, Corid, today.
