HELP BLOODY SILKIE CHICK POOP!!!

[Ckelley26]

I have two young silkies and I noticed them acting lethargic and relished it was 91 degrees and they are five weeks old. Then I saw some bloody poop. This is my first time owning silkies ever and the first time in a long time owning chickens. What could this be.

At that age get Corid or amprollium and start treatment for possible coccidiosis. Toltrazuril and Sulfa antibiotics are also used for treatment. Get them drinking fluids until you get the Corid or amprollium. Corid dosage is 2 tsp of the liquid or 1.5 tsp of the powder per gallon of water for 5-7 days. Also give them a drench once a day of undiluted Corid 0.1 ml orally. Do you still have heat on them? At 5 weeks they should be able to tolerate 70 degrees.
