Shedding or coccidiosis?

Hello all!
I had 3 ten weeks old girls that I had just moved out to the "big coop" last week. I found 2 dead about 5 days later. No obvious reason why. I went ahead and moved baby #3 back into her brooder just so I could keep an eye on her.

Since then, she has been having some interesting looking poops. I originally thought shedding, but this is day 3.
Its been in 2 poops a day for 3 days. I'm concerned now. Would you go ahead and treat with corid? Thoughts? This is a first for me.


Thank you!

That's not what the bloody form of coccidiosis looks like.. so I'd say more likely shedding.. noting that only one or two of the 9-11 coccidia strains known to effect poultry *may* produce bloody stool as a symptom.

Sorry for your loss!:(
