I should also add they are about 4 weeks old and I’ve been feeding unmediated for 3 weeks, and medicated for 1 as I ran out of chick feed unfortunately. They have also been outside in their run which has pibe shavings and I’ve noticed them pecking at it. I have also given them chick grit in hopes of counteracting their shaving picking.This is the first time and the only time I’ve seen a dropping like this. Does this mean they could be infected?

OH funny, Coach just replied. Whew, you're in good hands!Coach723 sent me this thread when I was dealing with it for the first time and it saved my chicks. https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/corid-oral-drench-instructions.1211991/
Yes I highly recommend straight oral doses if things are dire. I just went thru a terrible round of coccidiosis in my older flocks due to the constant rain and muddy conditions and I lost several birds but did manage to save 4 of them by straight doses orally as well as their waterers and supplementing vitamin E with selenium. Coccidiosis is pretty significantly affecting them by the time you visibly see reactions in many cases, so swift treatment is really important.Thanks for adding the link to the drench! The oral dose can be used in addition to the medicated water, if anyone is not drinking well on their own, then that helps get the medication in them.
