I think we should get a sticky thread about poop. Lol
I came across some weird poop. I just treated them for 7 days with corid. I did give them probiotic and electrolytes for two days and woke up to this surprise. One was a ploop on the floor and the other was sticking to the netting. Not sure which bird or even multiple birds but everyone seems a little lethargic, as in laying down more and I have noticed them breathing with their mouth open... but I only contributed that to how hot the day was. They eat and drink normally about 1qt of water a day, so I'm wondering if I should treat them again for corid.

I am not an expert on droppings, but with coccidiosis, you may see orange to red intestinal mucus, and some of those poops look like they could be possible cecal casings, which is common in eimeria tenella coccidiosis. Some use Sulfadimethoxine or other sulfa antibiotics for treatment of coccidiosis that does not respond to Corid. There also can be damage to the intestines after coccidiosis. Here is some info with pictures of this:
