Still pretty new to chicken keeping so, does this look like coccidiosis? I found a couple of droppings like this in the run. Its been hot and humid here for about 2 weeks. Im meticulous when i clean, they are roosters and have a smaller run but still over the requirements for each bird. I dont want to rush into treatment but i would be crushed if anyone died. I clean the run once a week or more if needed, and bedding one every two weeks as they spend most of their time outside so its always clean. Any advice would be amazing.

This dropping was gelatinous (best i can describe) and super stinky. They all look fine, one boy wasnt really interested in treats but hes the smallest and its hot. He just seemed to want to hang in the shade.

If I saw mine poop that I would treat with Corid.
Powder dose is 1.5 teaspoons per gallon for 5-7 days, then 1/3 teaspoon per gallon for 7 days.
Liquid dose is 2 teaspoons per gallon for 5-7 days, then 1/2 teaspoon per gallon for 7 days.

Make fresh daily and it needs to be their only source water. If after treatment If I still saw poops like that after treatment, I would de-worm them with Valbazen or Safeguard.
