Hi, Im new to the group. Also new to having chickens. We have had 8 hens for a week. I noticed blood in their poop yesterday and today got some corid and the lady at southern states told me to get some medicated starter fed. We were feeding organic laying pellets. She said because of the blood we needed the starter thats medicated. So is it ok to do the corid and the fed? The lady also told me to give probiotics, 1 pack in water for 3 days. Do I need to do that to?

Greetings from Kansas, bthompson, and ! Happy you joined our community but sorry about your sick hen. I think you should post in the Emergencies Forum here: https://www.backyardchickens.com/f/10/emergencies-diseases-injuries-and-cures
The folks there are very knowledgeable about sick chickens.
There are also lots of informative articles in the Learning Center here: https://www.backyardchickens.com/atype/1/Learning_Center

I'm not certain but I think you only need the corrid not the medicated food as well. Please do post on the ER thread to ask their advice.
