Is this looking like coccidia poop?

Hello-

I just lost a 7 week old chick with an illness that seemed to come out of nowhere where. I separated her last night and she had died this morning. I noticed her being fluffed up only that morning. Otherwise she seemed active and happy. Always came to me and perched on the arm. I took her out this morning and her poop was greenish tint. I’ve attached an image. It does have some crumbles mixed in from when they spilled.

The chicks are still in their brooder inside the house (was going to move them outside this week once I finished critter proofing my new coop).

Should I be panicking and treating my flock? Everything around me is closed today and obviously want to take action asap.

Thanks for your input.

You shouldn't panic but it wouldn't hurt to treat them with corid. Are you in the US? If you are, you can find corid at Tractor Supply. They're open on Sundays.

The green in the poop typically means they're not eating enough. Chickens are really good at hiding illness. She may have not been feeling well for a bit but you couldn't tell until it was really bad and she showed signs.

The closest tractor supply is an hour away and I’m at work today. I *think* I can get there in time.

I looked at the other girls droppings and they all look normal/healthy. Is it ok to dose the whole flock. They’re 7 weeks.

Yes, it's perfectly fine to dose them all. Corid is not like antibiotics or anything. Good luck!!! I hope it helps.
