HELP! CHICKS HAVE BLOOD/AND OR INTESTINAL SHEDDING IN THEIR STOOL.

[Lucy Brown]

Will they be okay? They seem fine right now, and the "bloody poops" are a normal poop with a slightly gooey pink thing attached at the end with a reddish blood vessel? I would get Corid tomorrow only if I lived near a feed store, but the nearest one is two hours away.

I don't know what you aren't understanding... If your birds are pooping blood you need to get Corid. Makes no difference to me how long it's going to take to get to you. The quicker you order it the quicker you'll get it and hopefully it will be in time.

If at all possible I would take a drive to the next store... because you don't have time.
Maybe someone in your area has Corid at home... you just need to act now.
Hope you'll find a fast solution!

Sounds like Coccidiosis.

Is it safe to give to chicks?

Yes, corid is 100% safe for chicks, & one of the hardest things to overdose a chick on. It's tough on the Coccia parasite, but gentle on the birds.

There are feed stores and TSC’s in most areas. Just get the Corid if you are seeing blood. It is safe, even if it is not coccidiosis, but if they start to go downhill, it will delay treatment. Sometimes normal intestinal shed will be passed in the droppings, but with baby chicks, at that age I would treat them. The most common and serious time for coccidiosis is from 3 to 6 weeks, but they can get it later as well. Dosage is 2 tsp of the liquid or 1.5 tsp of the powder per gallon of water. Mix new each day. Treat for 5-7 days. Pictures of droppings are welcome here.
