I think my chickens have coccidiosos

Chickens have bloody stool, one is very sick. Should I get the medicine that goes in the water?? And how do I know if they are getting enough to fight the disease?

This is what you want to get. https://www.jedds.com/shop/trimethoprinsulfa-100-g-medpet/ As long as you provide this as the only source of water, they will get enough medicine to do the job.

Thank you, looks like all I could get was Corid, I’ll start there, I only have one so far that won’t eat or drink, so hopefully I can get the other 16 well, while nursing this one.

All my chicks are doing much better this morning. All are active and eating and drinking on their own. I’m forever grateful to this community for all the responses as well as amazing resources provided. I caught this early because I had read so many articles in the learning center. This may have made the difference between sick and deadly for my babies. Thank you

Corid is best to start right away into there water. You must change the water daily and provide a fresh batch. It should clear up pretty fast.

Started them yesterday. All has been cleaned and treating whole flock. Reading through comments prior to this helped me diagnose right away and I knew exactly what to do. Seeing happy chicks this morning made my day. So thankful
