What do i get in total to treat at least one chicken (bantam) showing infection signs, and to treat the rest of the flock??
we havev cleaned the coop, allowing it to dry out, and havev cleaned up what feces we can. We have gotten some electrolytes in, and are using that for now to help out, making sure their feed is dry and clean. what treatments do i get? on a budget cant afford much
 
How old is the chicken showing signs? What signs are you seeing? Are all of your chickens the same age?

Liquid Corid is available at Tractor Supply. Dosage is 2tsp (10mL) per gallon of water or 1/2 tsp (2.5mL) per quart of water (if you're using chick waterers). Make sure it is the only source of water for the entire flock for 7 days. Also, make sure not to give any vitamin supplements during the course of treatment.

Edited to add: Fresh Corid water needs to be mixed each day of treatment, so depending on the size of your flock, if they don't go through a gallon of water per day, it may be easier to use quart waterers.

Ill start over, mostly because i wrote this in arunsh trying to run out the door and go to the feed store and get what i need.

All my birds range from 16 weeks to 13 weeks. I have no fully grown adults. My Little guy Is Called Napoleon, and he is a 13 week bantam.
No other birds on my property are sick, including our ducks and Including Neighboring flocks.
I removed napoleon as soon as i saw his head drooping down and his feathers ruffled out, straight to quarantine, I picked him up and he smelt bad. There was blood that didnt even look like poop, on his feathers around his bum, not much, his poop seems to be a little red, and grainy. There has been no further blood. He is not eating, or drinking anything offered for at least 24 hours as of now.

I chose to clean the entire run by shoveling out all visible poo and removing it from the property.
I then cleaned the entire coop with hot af soapy water, and let the girls spend yesterday free ranging, while the sun baked everything, after i took all the shade out (it was about 100f all day and ground temp was measured at 110)

The last week has been rainy and flooding our low landed area, it sits RIGHT where i built the coop this year.. The run was flooded for 6 days straight, along with noticing Green Sludge (alge) in the water the birrd drank.. (no signs of algae poisonings) the run had only started to dry as of the morning yesterday, and is now dry. (we wont be rebuilding or moving it due to moving them to a new property in the next few months)

Please post photos of the bird(s) and the poop.

It's not clear what symptoms he's exhibiting now. Can you clarify?

Thanks!

at this time, he seems normal? he isnt eating as much or drinking alot but we brought him in and no one else seems to have blood poo, he doesn't have any red poo now, and im totally confused? he wants to get out the sick bay cage bad. Constantly jumping out and responding to calls. I decided to keep him inside about 5 days just to make sure, and keep checking poo, while slowly exposing him to the dirt from the run again.

Glad he's doing a little better.
 
im honestly confused how he was doing so poorly and bounced back so fast? he just made a complete turn around, and we didnt even give him meds.
