Possible coccidia?

[Ray987]

Hello again
I noticed on a couple chicks that their tail is vibrating, wondering if this is a coccidia symptoms?

Without being able to see what they are doing, I really can't answer that. Not a common symptom, but strange things happen sometimes.

Hello again

Started the second dose for chicks they eating and drinking pretty well however they look pretty messed up and I noticed this bluish color around there eyes most of them are like that any idea what is this?

 

[coach723]

I think that is probably just blood vessels visible through the skin. At this point in their feathering they can have some bare spots and thin spots, which makes their skin much more visible. Once they are fully feathered out, it will all be covered. Some chicks, some breeds, can go through a period where they look pretty scruffy and rough during feathering, sometimes pretty awful. Unless you think there is swelling, or see any discharge, bubbles in the eye, etc. I don't think it's a worry.

Hello again
Today is the last day of the third round on medication all chicks seems to be a lot better and I haven't seen any bloody poop in a while, although the poot chick which isolated is getting picked on by the others now that it's back with them they just keep ganging up on him any tips regarding this matter?

Also I got this as probiotics gonna start using it tomorrow, thought to ask if it's good or not and thank you

That looks like vitamins & minerals, rather than probiotics.
Sav-a-chick makes a probiotic that you can mix in the water, fairly inexpensive (image below), or you can use an all species one like Pro-bios. There are many brands and formulations.
For reintegrating the chick, put up a fence or wire between that chick and the others, so they can see each other but not touch each other. Feed them both on their sides of the fence. Or you could use a wire crate and put the chick in the crate in the run. This allows them to all get used to each other again, with no one getting hurt. When they stop trying to get to the one, not posturing, charging, etc, then try short supervised periods with them together. How long depends very much on the individual personalities and temperaments, may only take a day or two, or could take longer. Chicks usually don't take as long as adult birds, but it's very hard to predict. A short peck or chase is normal, getting the pecking order set, but an all out attack means it's too soon.

I intended on buying sav a chick showed a picture to the doctor he said it's not available in our country and offered the one I showed you instead

Also some bad news I noticed blood in droppings again this morning, I don't know what to do I thought it's over, they all seem kind of better and they never stopped eating/drinking, should I give them another round of the medicine? If not what Should I do?

Is a medication called toltrazuril (that is not a brand, it's the medication name) available where you are? (Putting your general location, ie; country, in your profile can make it easier to make recommendations). Toltrazuril is also a coccidiostat and is often used for rabbits. Many find it to be much more effective on strains that may be resistant to amprolium or sulfa's. I would be inclined to try a different medication if possible, to see if you get better results. I have never personally used the one you have, so can't really say from experience what results usually are. If you are able to get toltrazuril, dosing for that is here in post #96:

I'm located in Syria, don't know if toltrazuril is available I'll have to check but finding medicine here is pretty hard

Dose is 0.014 ml per 100 grams (0.07 ml per pound) orally for 2-3 days.



May I ask how to you measure 0.014 ml?
