Bloody poop is a sign of potential cocciadosis. You should get some Corid and treat your whole flock.

I don’t understand why he would give you vitamins for respiratory issues if you went for bloody poop? And if it is coccidiosis, oxytetracycline won’t do anything because this has nothing to do with bacteria; cocci is a protozoan parasite and you need amprolium (Corid) to starve the parasite of vitamin b and kill it. Coccidiosis is not a digestive issue - it doesn’t sound like your vet specializes in avian medicine or diseases.

so i should buy corid just to be on the safe side. it wont intoxicate them if they dont have cocci right ?

Yes, or feed medicated feed. It looks like internal shedding, not blood, to me though.

I concur, looks like shed intestinal lining. More often with coccidia you get frank red blood or blood clots on the feces or splattered on the floor and roosts, although sometimes they are almost asymptomatic. To be on the safe side, you can always have a fecal sample checked by your local veterinarian for coccidia, but unless the birds are showing other signs of it, my money would be on simply normal intestinal shed.
Also, coccidiosis is the result of a protozooan parasite that sets up shop along various portions of the intestines and cecum, so it is a digestive issue in that way, but is not controlled or treated with antibiotics or vitamin supplementation. Antibiotics are sometimes used if there is concern of secondary bacterial infections in a severe infestation however.

Yes, my chicks bloody droppings were CLEAR pooled blood, deeper, wetter red. I'd say, keep an eye out OP, but probably just shedding.

No, medicated feed will not help at this point. Medicated feed is used to slowly build up an immunity but it’s not fool proof.
