Long red strings chick poop

[Kearl]

They are 5 weeks old. Please help. I have no clue. They break apart very easily and very long 3-4 inches.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks: /

Intestinal shedding most likely. If so, it's perfectly normal.

It does look like shed intestinal lining. How are they acting? If they are acting normally, I would just keep a close eye. If any of them are acting even the slightest bit off, lethargic, not eating or drinking well, or sitting fluffed up, I would go ahead and treat for coccidiosis. If you start seeing this a lot or regularly then I'd probably go ahead and treat also, based on their age. Since coccidiosis can progress rapidly, and the treatment is safe, I would err on the side of caution. Corid (amprolium) is the treatment, it's available at most feed stores or tractor supply's, etc. Either powder or liquid form is fine. It might be a good idea to get some and have it on hand, just in case, the shelf life is usually quite long.

Thank you so much. They are acting normally right now. But I will watch them.
