Is this coccidiosis?

[rascal66]

Just to be clear, you do this instead of repeating treatment in 10-14 days? Or in addition?

I've never repeated treatment before personally. Usually when I see bloody poop, I do the 5 days with 2tsp per gallon, then for 14 days, the 1/2 tsp per gallon.
When I was constantly raising chicks, I did have to battle with coccidia on a more regular basis. I just followed the chart and had good results. On the rare occasion I would have a weak chick here or there that wouldn't pull through because they were too far gone, but I've had a similar scenario where one did miraculously recover after being skin and bone with bad symptoms.
Others here are welcome to clarify how they repeat treatment.

Thank you all for encouraging treatment… found a fair amount of blood under their roost this morning in one spot… I haven’t figured out which chick it’s from yet. They’ve had 2 full days of treatment… is this still something that will happen? If I can figure out who it is, should I do a drench on them? Everyone still acts happy and fine.

You can see blood for up to 4 days or so. Just keep continuing the treatment

Thanks so much for the quick (and reassuring) reply. I’m so glad I went ahead and treated on Sunday based on the feedback here.

I want to thank you all! The last 2 days and nights, no blood! They’ve finished their 5 day treatment and are moving on the the lower dose recommended for the next 14 days. They all seem happy and healthy. Thank you! These are the first chicks I’ve had in almost 3 years, (I DO have a flock of adults but haven’t added babes in awhile) and I’ve grown very attached to them. I’m grateful for the quick answers and expert advice.

I’m on my LAST day of treatment! Everybody is doing awesome! Thanks so much! Tomorrow I will start with nutridrench in the water… how long should I supplement for?

A couple of days should restore their B-levels.
