So last Sunday one of my 9 week old chicks developed a case of Coccidosis. I immediately started a regemin of 2tsp per gallon water of liquid Corrid and some ACV for her and all of her flock mates. I put a solid divider in the teenager coop to seperate her from the rest of the flock. She was listless for a few days and we were finally able to entice her to eat some bananas/yogurt/wet chick feed mixed. She is bouncing back now on day 4 (no more bloody stools and energetic again) she is eating regular feed and some scratch grains with grit and seems insistent about re-joining her flock mates. Should I wait until the Corrid regemin is done or let her go back to her flock?​

 
You should finish the Corid treatment, to make sure it's gotten. In the future, I don't separate chicks for the treatment, I treat all of them that are kept together since they have all been exposed. Corid is very safe, and treating only one or two can often put you on a conveyor belt of treatment when more show symptoms later. I'd put her back as soon as treatment is done in this case.
 
Corid works by starving the protozoan parasite of vitamin b.... do not add the ACV, as it is full of b vitamins and may counteract what you’re trying to do. Finish the treatment, and then give them ACV water (and a bowl of fresh water with nothing in it) to help restore those lost vitamins.
