Pooping blood

[jesfields]

Help! I have 6 silkie chicks about 8 weeks old. I purchased them at 2 weeks old. Just today I have noticed that 3 of them are pooping blood. Its not even bloody poop it is straight blood. They look well and are eating and drinking. 1 appears a bit lethargic but the others seem well at the moment. I live in a rural town and we do not have much for medicine that I can give them. I will attach a picture of what the feed store could give me. If that might work what amount should I give them. Any other idea of what I could try doing for them? They are by themselves and have not been in contact with my other chickens yet

No this will not work.
Call your feed store and ask them if they carry CORID.

Get them checked for coccidosis quickly. When my chicks were small they developed coccidosis too and they didn't even go outside at the time.

Can you do amazon in Canada? https://www.amazon.com/s?k=corid&ref=nb_sb_noss

 

[jesfields]

Yes but I imagine shipping would be a week away at least

What local feed stores do you have? Ask if they carry corid.

Just co-op they will be closed now but I will call in the morning. How quickly will this kill them?

I believe it's Amprol in Canada, and I think you have to get it from a vet there. Same medication, different brand name. The medication itself is amprolium, so any amprolium product will work.

Thank you everyone. And what is the dosing on amprol if I can find it
