Help! Bloody Stool!

When you said "treat the whole flock", do you have others besides these chicks?
You don't need to dose any adults but treat all your 8 week olds.
As for prevention, cleanliness is ok but the key is to keep the bedding bone dry. The coccidia can't complete their lifecycle in the absence of moisture.

Yes I have a larger flock of over 20 birds ranging from ages 4 months to 2 years and the chicks have been near them before. Their bedding is 100% dry as can be since I spot clean their poop spots a lot

So far they're looking a lot better, their poop is runny but I can't really see any blood in it and one of them is cleaning their feathers and walking about and they're both drinking lots of water I hope this means they'll be ok! Just wish my little Wheezy would have made it

That is such good news. I really hope they have turned the corner Sounds like you may just not have caught poor Wheezy quite early enough. Hope my suggestion that it might be berries didn't delay things to his detriment.

Me too, they're looking so much better than they did! And no lol! Your berry suggestion didn't delay anything you actually helped me out a lot and I thank you! ❤

Wish I had suggested the direct drench sooner. They didn't seem to be that bad from your initial posts and I assumed they would be ok with the "outbreak" dose of medicated water and then suddenly they sounded so ill.

So far the chicks are still alive and re-gaining the color back in their combs, digging, and eating so the corid seems to be working! I am so grateful, they're both little fighters!

So pleased they are moving in the right direction still.
