Is this coccidious poo?

They had watermelon today. But I found this. Two spots. I've been fighting a respiratory infection also. Still wet so not sure how dark it would dry out.

It's highly suspect. That amount of intestinal lining shed in poop could indicate enteritis is developing. Coccidia can cause this. It can be ripe for bacterial infection so the risk definitely justifies Corid treatment to be safe.

Yeah, Definitely stopped me in my tracks. I'll pick some up and treat the flock. Man, the chicken universe is really laying it on me. I've had bumble, the upper respiratory infection, lice, and now possibly this. Shew.

Get the liquid Corid. If you see any chicken acting sickly, in addition to the Corid water, give the drench dose for three days. That would be undiluted Corid given by oral syringe directly into the crop at around .5ml for an average size chicken.

This is how to safely give liquid meds without risking it going into the airway.

Aside from the puffed up stance, what other "sickly" symptoms should I be looking for? I have an upper respiratory infection I'm battling and one hen is pretty sick. Mucous discharge from nose, crusty and bubbly eyes and the cough.

A sick chicken will have no appetite, will usually self isolate away from the flock, eyes will be dull and droopy, stance hunched and feathers fluffed. Diarrhea is the poop form. But I would treat all the chickens with Corid regardless whether they're acting sick.

That's the plan. Picked up the corrid today
