I think my chick is dying! URGENT!

I agree corid is important to have on hand. Coming from someone who delayed and lost 20 of 22 birds by waiting an extra day to treat. Most important is getting it in them ASAP. You’ve been told what to do to help the rest of your chicks so I hope you get the corid and dose them in time. Best of luck!

So sorry, those are terrible numbers.

Morning update: Everyone is running around the brooder. There is more foamy and bloody poo, though.

I feed all my chicks Purina medicated feed for the first couple of months doing so none of my chicks get coccidia.

Times short for the others I'm afraid. Collect that stool sample and start corid asap. Then I'd contact the hatchery. Take better colored photos also. Hate you see you lose many and not get replacements.

Not sure that could have stopped this, they just came out of the box yesterday. I do medicated food too.

Ok, but the poo is orangy. Are you sure that they cannot shed intestinal lining at this age?

 

[Ruralhideaway]

When that does happen its in fully formed not liquid poop, just a tinge of red usually.
And it's occasional.

And birds aren't dying from it.

What have they been eating?

And like someone else was saying, mine have never shed intestinal lining unless something was wrong. I have 8 week old birds and I noticed some lining in there poo. I am treating with corrid bc I have had birds with cocci before so I know it's a possibility. It's safer to treat than regret it. It really is super easy and they aren't egg laying yet so no worries there.
