Coccidiosis?

First time chicken mama

6 week old easter egger. Still in brooder, slightly lethargic today, perked up a bit and made usual chick sounds after syringe wate, but didn't last and went back to being lethargic. Separated from flock. Non-vax, non-medicated feed.

Started whole flock on liquid Corid.

This is my shy chick, but she wasn't eating, drinking or wanting any treats. She's awake aware, just not herself or being a normal chick.

All other chicks are fine (6 others)
 
That dropping is abnormal because of the blood or shred, and possible coccidiosis, but also because the normally white urates are yellow. That can sometimes be from vitamins, but also could be from liver problems. Can you take the fresh droppings in to a vet for a fecal float? If using Corid, dosage is 2 tsp of the liquid or 1.5 tsp of the powder per gallon of water changed daily, for 5-7 days. Then you can reduce that dosage to 1/4 of that for an additional 5 days. Do not use vitamins during treatment.

I started liquid corid last night at the dosage you stated. No avian. Vet in my area.

Today she has eaten a little on her own, began sweet chick cheeps again. Moved a bit in the carrier she's in, but still has then poo symptoms. She even tried to jump/fly out ofnthe carrier when I opened it to get her some more water.

Here's this evenings poo, my daughter has been cleaning and watching her most of the day, said this is what i has looked like all day.

She's eating and now drinking on her own, and flying and perching on the crate when we open it to change out pads/feed/water.
