Newest additions are 12 weeks old-- poop review please?

[My1stChickens]

A month ago I added four littles-- they were wild/feral and a bit rough, due to overcrowding and lack of handling at the feed store. They've been in quarantine, eating Klambach chick starter and now Chick House reserve, with protein snacks to help restore feathers. Today marks the end of four weeks quarantine, and they have grown, eaten well and have much better feathers. However... (and therein lies the rub) it seems like this group has a lot of cecal poop. They are in a 12x12 stall, and they have more cecal poop than the last group that quarantined in this stall. I also see some reddish but not bloody stuff, which I believe is normal shedding of intestinal lining. Finally, these are the first chickens I've had that produce elongated turds... otherwise normal but just elongated, brown poops.

I'm going to attach some photos just for an expert review. I am not sure I have any blood that would indicate coccidiosis but would appreciate experts doing a double check. Hoping to hear from @dawg53 @Wyorp Rock

While they've come a ways, they are JUST finally starting to think about roosting, but only during the day. At night they want to sleep in their dust bath on the floor. And they still seem SO little compared to the big girls that I'm not quite ready to try to integrate.

Please weigh in on the poops..... and let me know if I need to do anything or just stop worrying. Thanks so much!

How old are they?

It does look mainly like intestinal shedding, but I do see some mucous and stringy urates.
Since they are new to the property (I assume since you've had them quarantined), I'd treat for Coccidiosis.
Liquid Corid dose is 2tsp or Powdered Corid Dose is 1 1/2tsp per gallon of water given for 5-7 days as the only source of drinking water.
Do not add any extra vitamins/electrolytes that contain B1(Thiamine) to food or water during the course of treatment.


If older than 6weeks, then I'd consider worming too.
Safeguard 10% Liquid Goat Dewormer or Equine Paste dose is 0.23ml per pound of weight given orally once a day for 5 days in a row.
---OR---
Valbazen dose is 0.08ml per pound of weight given orally once, then repeated in 10 days.
