Hi! I got two brahma chicks two days ago. They seem healthy when observing them, scratching, eating, drinking etc, but one has consistently runny, bloody poops. The other has solid yellowish poops.
Obviously I am thinking coccidiosis. I am a little confused on how to treat though. I am already feeding them medicated chick food, I saw corid is a treatment you can put in their water but it looks like the active ingredients in the food and corid are the same? I know the goal is for them to develop their own immunity, should I just wait and see since they seem healthy?
Bonus question, I have 5 hens in my established flock, and I don't know if they have been exposed to coccidiosis or not. Should I preemptively medicate their water when I integrate them?
Thanks!
