Help! Coccidiosis?

Have you given them all the drench along with the Corid water? they have the strain of coccidia that causes the ling of the intestine to rupture and bleed. This produces bacteria and infection, so they also need a sulfa drug. You will need to beg a vet for it probably. Unless you can find a pigeon supply shop that sell pigeon sulfa. Or see if they https://www.lambertvetsupply.com/Bird-Sulfa-100-Tablets_p_26947.html will ship to you.

Oh. Great. Do you think I should take a poop sample to the vet to get a prescription for sulfadimethoxine?

Yes. That will both confirm the diagnosis as well as enlist a vet to provide the antibiotic, which I believe is necessary if you are to avoid having more chickens die.

Ugh. Just went out there and there was more bloody poop from the same pullet and it’s also showing up in others. Moving forward with 2 teaspoons per gallon. Anything else I should be doing??

I agree, I would direct drench the hen with the liquid Corid at a rate of .10ml per pound of weight once a day for 3 days. This is IN ADDITION to her drinking the mixes Corid water at 2tsp per gallon of water for 5-7 days.

I also agree, that an antibiotic is likely needed - the Sulfa drug may help. (Just so you know, Corid is not an antibiotic).

If you do have a vet that can give you a script, that would likely be the fastest way to get meds. Have them perform a fecal float and if possible a gram stain - this will hopefully get you on the right track.
