Poop with some red in it. Does this look like coccidiosis?

Does that seem right to you? See pics below. Thats the dosing instructions I used before. It says 0.3ml for 5 lbs. for the zimectrim gold.. so I just gave them 0.3ml. Then I’ll repeat in 14 days. Then after the 14 days wait another 14 days before I can go ahead and eat the eggs again. That’s the only bugger about this… but we got to do what we got to do.
This is correct.
What doesn't seem right?
 
Yes I agree that is correct. @dawg53 usually says that all of the chickens may not need treatment for tapeworms, just the ones that have them in poop. Tapeworms are spread by an intermediate host, such as earthworms, snails, slugs, beetles, and flies. The chickens ingest those hosts or peck at their own droppings with the eggs, and then get tapes. So looking for any of those, and keeping the droppings picked up can be helpful to prevent reinfestation.
