We didn't see cocci so we're sending a sample to idexx

Small update. I don't see anymore blood in poop. 3 chicks are doing great. 1 chick is still very lethargic but eating and drinking some. I'm syringing toltrazuril sid and corid bid. And the lethargic chick is in iso. I don't believe that chick will live but I am trying very hard.

Sorry for the incredibly long reply. But it sounds like cocciodiosis to me. Try getting some medicine for them.

As the original post said I was already treating for coccidiosis with baycox/toltrazuril. I did add in corid as well 2 hours after I made the post. We did not see cocci in the feces I took in. We lost 5 baby chicks total. Everyone else is doing well. I'm not sure what happened at this point. Maybe I had already killed the cocci by the time I tested the stool. Coccidiostats are fast acting but that seems a little too quick. Maybe the birds that lived just didn't get it even though they all shared a box. Maybe the sample wasn't large enough. I really don't know and wish I had an answer for me and for you guys. I'm just glad I didn't lose all the chicks.
