Please Help! Sick chick! New, and not sure what to do

[PamB]

So, my 3-4 week old chicks have appeared VERY healthy. However, this morning, we noticed that one of them has blood in their stool. What do I do????? Please help me out! Thanks!

Sounds like coccidiosis. There is a widely used medication available at feed stores ...called Corid.....just call your feed store or vet & ask.

Be sure to treat all the chicks with the Corid. Even with the medicated chick starter feed which has Corid (Amprolliam) misspelled it, the chicks can still get coccidiosis.
Do not let the other chicks pick at and eat the bloody stools...Best to keep the sick on separated if possible.. good luck!

Thank you for responding. I got the medicine and cleaned their entire brooder out. I'm hoping they will be ok. I'm so worried.
