Ok so late yesterday everyone was fine. I came this morning I got 4 chicks about 5 week's old. all was real droopy looking u could tell they was not filling good. I noticed the sickest one pooped out blood like red cool aid. Few of the others as well. 1 has already died so it killed fast they are completely blocked off in different coops as well I was thinking worms but it killed fast so I'm not sure. I did get some de food grad and I have some neomeds antibiotics I was preparing to treat fig I would ask for thoughts on this thanks

Just going off the information here the first thought would be coccidiosis - for which you will need a coccidiostat such as Corid. Because of how quickly you can be wiped out when dealing with coccidiosis, if I suspect it at all I will start that treatment first and then sort through other possibilities because if it *is* coccidiosis there is no time to spare in beginning treatment. Once that is started I worry about other possible causes as they tend to have a bit more of "grace period" - not much, but some.

Treat for Coccidiosis!! You can get what you need at TSC or your local feed store. If it is cocci, time is SO important. My chicks had this and because we acted fast, they are alive and well today!! I used Sulmet as it also treats for Infectious Coryza (Avibacterium paragallinarum); Coccidiosis (Eimeria tenella, Eimeria necatrix);Acute Fowl Cholera (Pasteurella multocida); Pullorum Disease (Salmonella Pullorum). I put one capful into their quart waterer, and gave fresh daily. By the next day they were mostly improved, by the day after that totally normal poop. Good luck!!!

Ask them if they have a product that contains amprolium. That's the active ingredient in Corid.

I buy the powdered Corid from the cattle section of TSC and mix it up in the drinking water. Are you sure your TSC doesn't sell it?
