Coccidosis or Intestinal shedding?

[TaylorLD]

Does this chicken poop look like intestinal shedding or should I be treating my flock with Corid for coccidosis?

Everyone seems to be acting normally, energetic and following their regular routine. There is one bird that I notice a but puffier than normal, but our weather just changed and it’s colder and she’s only 16 weeks old and growing still

It's intestinal shedding, but I'd go ahead and treat the whole flock with Corid.
There's a lot of mucous and you have 1 that is puffed up.

It's always a good idea to get a fecal float to see if worms may be part of the issue as well.

Liquid Corid is 2tsp or Powdered Corid is 1 1/2tsp per gallon of water given for 5-7days as the only source of drinking water. Don't add any extra supplements or vitamins that contain B1(Thiamine) to food/water during the course of treatment.

I have the same question. My flock has been healthy and happy with no extreme issues. I was out feeding and cleaning this morning and one of my flock started pooping and trying to get away from the others because they wanted to eat her poop. I wondered if it were worms or something but I saw red come out of her. I scooped her up and brought her in to isolate her, give her an epsom salt bath and examine her. I put some yogurt with grated carrot in her kennel after the bath. She is eating and drinking. She seems so content. I waited for a poop and this is what it looked like. I just read about intestinal shedding so of course I want it to be that and not the coccidiosis. Can anyone help me identify? Thank you in advance. I love my flock. This was scary.
