Coccidiosis -Please help! I think my chicken has this :-(

[Wyorp Rock]

She is drinking medicated water some and eating a little. She’s 3.2 pounds. I don’t have any but can get some -tell me what to get and I can run to rural king or tractor supply. Honestly it looks better today than yesterday -yesterday was straight liquid :-(
But I will do whatever you think needs done. I have one other who has similar poop right now but she is acting ok so she is still with the others -I just noticed it today . I did the oral drench though on her as well.

If you can get Amoxicillin, that would be good.

OK do you know what dosage I would need to administer?

I’m sorry for so many questions but she is feeling way better today -should I still do antibiotics? And if so how many days ?

also one other is exhibiting symptoms in the poop
I’m treating everyone in their water but should I bring the other one in the house or just keep her out with everyone and start the oral drench and what about antibiotics?
And when I do put My original sick chicken back in the pen do I need to do anything as far as introducing her back in the flock or has it not been long enough to worry about that ? She is pretty low in the pecking order but the flock gets along really well since I got them all at the same time except for the one adult hen who is top boss lol.

What does her poop look like now?
I would finish the Corid with all of them. If you have one that is not doing well, then it wouldn't hurt to drench her for a few days.
If the poop is not bloody anymore, then I would hold off on the antibiotics.

If your pullet is well enough to re-join the flock, then try it and see what happens. Hard to know how chickens are going to react - sometimes they act like that one is suppose to be there, other times you may have to go through a short re-introduction period.

I had my one of my chickens get Coccidiosis at about 10 weeks and I swear she was on the brink of death and just adding Corid to her water for two weeks helped. I lessened the dose as time went on. So corid should help her I think In about 4-5 days I saw symptom reduction and of course treat your whole flock. Just keep on doing what your doing and watch her carefully.
