ive read all the great posts about normal vs abnormal poop, but I just can't decide. So I was moving my chicks to their coop today (thank goodness!) and I noticed one had unusual poop. I noticed the last few days I thought this certain chick had lighter poop. She seems healthy and is on medicated feed, but I'm not sure if I should treat with a round of antibiotics for cocci or not. It's yellowish and a bit foamy. We don't have any vets that treat chickens around here. Any opinions are welcome

First, the poop looks perfectly normal to me. Second, Cocci is an overload of a protozoan parasite and so it is not treated with an antibiotic but Amprolium (Corid) which helps to knock back the naturally occuring protozoa to a manageable level for the affected chicken. Good job being vigilant and learning along the way!
If you notice that chick getting a bit sluggish or constant runny poop (especially with blood in it) is a good time to treat with the corid.
