Poop pictures! Intestinal lining about 7 weeks.

[Lochloosachicks]

These chicks have been pooping this on and off since I brought them home. They are about 7 weeks and I've had them about 3-4 of those. I've had them on antibiotics SMZ for what seemed to be a respiratory thing. One is still sneezing, I've been dosing seperatley.
Why would they be shedding lining at this age? They do not act sick at all, which seems to be a
Major symptom of cocci. It stopped for a while (maybe while on antibiotics?) it seems to have started again.
If it were something like cocci would that cause sneezing too? Shouldn't they be sicker?
I have 17 older birds and haven't had any of the issues I have had with these girls.

If they were vaccinated they will not show signs of being sick but they will be carriers. You need to be treating them for it with Corid.
Sometimes I have had birds molt at different ages but around 7 week seems to be the time when they start getting mature feathers and lose all of there chick fluff

I don't think they were vaccinated. This is the corid I have. Is it right and how do I dose?

Would cocci cause the sneezing? And is that the reason they would be shedding lining, if that's what that is.

I would treat them with the "severe" dose.
For 7 days. I can't see what your percentage is but here ya go:


The preventative dose (.006%) for Corid Powder is 1/3 teaspoon.
The preventative dose (.006%) for Corid liquid is 1/2 teaspoon.

The moderate outbreak dose (.012%) for Corid Powder is 3/4 teaspoon.
The moderate outbreak dose (.012%) for Corid liquid is 1 teaspoon.

The severe outbreak dose (.024%) for Corid Powder is 1.5 teaspoons
The severe outbreak dose (.024%) for Corid liquid is 2 teaspoon.

 

[Lochloosachicks]

Mine says 9.6%

Mine says 9.6%

Mine says 9.6%

Probably because that's the cattle dosage. Do not do 9.6%. Do what KikisGirls wrote

 

[Lochloosachicks]

I read on another backyard post (coccidiosis & how to treat it) that I could dose 9.5cc of the 9.6% in a gallon of water. I've gone everywhere and I can't find the other. That was assuming it was one bird, but water didn't need to be changed daily. I assume I'll keep it the same, but refill water more often for 7 birds.
After reading that I'm thinking that the reason the new chicks are showing symptoms and my big girls aren't is because these babies were raised inside until 4/5 weeks and I started introducing my others to the yard within the first week of life. I guess they naturally build an immunity to it that way. I hope. This is the oldest I've ever bought chickens.

The 9.6 is fine.
You will want to use 2 teaspoons for a gallon of water.
And change it daily. make a new batch each day for 7 days.

*The severe outbreak dose (.024%) for Corid Liquid (9.6% Solution) is 2 teaspoon/gallon.

Thank you!! Do you think this could also be the cause of their faces being super red? They are Golden comets.
