Coccidiosis?

[AnneGirlGG]

I found this poop this morning. I think I know which bird it's from, as I saw him poop and it looked similar to this one. Everyone is acting normal and eating/ drinking.

I can't get Corid started until this evening, but does this look like coccidiosis?

Thank you!

I should add some details, I'm sorry. The bird I suspect is an 8 week old Porcelain d'Uccle. I've got 7 and 8 week olds in the flock. I saw the bird in question poop, and it was similar in color to this but much smaller. The bird is stressed at the moment because the male he came with and he have begun to fight. This is the smaller of the 2. I want to rehome at least one, but I obviously can't/won't until I know what this is and have it handled. I looked the coop over very well and this spot and the one I witnessed are all I found.

It looks like intestinal shed to me but wait for other opinions

Thank you! I will. I searched the coop again and still didn't find anything new. I'm watching them all so closely.

It is orangey red like intestinal shed. If that is the only one, you could watch for more. If there are more than one, and because the chicks are at the age where coccidiosis is rampant, I would get Corid and treat the chicks for 5 days. Dosage is 2 tsp of the liquid Corid or 1.5 tsp of the powder per gallon. Symptoms are lethargy, weakness, nit eating, and runny droppings. Blood is not always seen in coccidiosis.

Thank you very much. I'll have the Corid this evening. I'm keeping a very close eye on them all. So far, I haven't seen any other questionable droppings and no one is showing concerning behavior. I'll keep watching closely and start the Corid immediately if I see more concerning droppings. I appreciate the information!
