Is this bloody chick stool?

[Rachael4444]

Hey guys, sorry for the gross picture, but I just found this dropping from one of my six week old chicks (spread on white surface). It looks to contain blood and/or tissue and I’ve heard this could mean worms or a parasite of some kind. What do you think?

If I saw that from a 6 week old chick I would treat for coccidiosis. Treatment chart below, always use the severe outbreak dosing. Treat all of them kept together. The medicated water needs to be the only water they have access to. You can also give any that look off, or you know are passing droppings like that an oral dose in addition to the medicated water, dosing for that is here:

Thanks so much @coach723 this is actually good news for me since a) I have amprolium on hand and b) I started preemptively treating the entire flocks water yesterday since they’re now in the same area during the day. I’ll see if anyone seems sluggish and give them this dosage.
