Hi all, Ive got a few silver laced wyandottes and 3 white americauna chicks around 8 weeks old. I am trying to sell roosters and extras and am about to move them outside. However now they are pooping bloody stool. I am getting very worried. One pullet died two nights ago, she had mild crossbeak and appeared that her top beak was far smaller. So I already knew she had some genetic problems. But they are all doing 100% until I look in there and she was dead. Almost looks like Sudden death syndrome. Blood had spattered out of her mouth and looks like it was flung around in the brooder like she was convulsing (why I suspect sudden death but I dont know much about it). Then on her side with legs extended. Nobody else in that brooder are having problems just thought I would mention. In my rooster bin I think many of them are now pooping blood. One of them also has a weird tiny top beak. So maybe im only seeing his poop and this is some weird genetic thing from the breeder. I am giving Nutri drench now, should I put them on medicated? (at least the rooster tub). Also I took out an ameraucana from the pullet tub and waited for her to poop. I will include that picture. (sorry I had her standing on wire so she didn't go to far. I had a paper towel for her to stand and poop on but she managed to poop off of it)

Any suggestions are of great help. Thank you!

Thank you! Sorry I don't know if I even said it! I have two separate brooders and ive seen this in both tubs right now. One more chick died last night. I think Im gonna assume its coccidiosis. I have CORID arriving tomorrow, I put them on medicated feed and have a type of Nutri drench like product in their water.
