Sick chick

[Emspringr]

Hi!! We recently treated with Corid for bloody poop. No one really seemed sick, the poop was the only symptom. Their poops are back to normal. But two of the youngest chicks are literal skin and bones with poor feathering. One smaller than the other. I can tell by their crops that they’re eating. Is this just an aftermath of coccidiosis in a young bird and I need to wait it out? How I help them?

Was it dark bloody or pink? What's their diet?

How old are the chicks?

It was dark bloody! They’re on chick starter/grower. Non medicated

How old are the chicks?

The oldest of them are about 7 weeks and the youngest of them probably 3-5 weeks

They all seem normal now, acting normal, normal droppings? It's possible that the coccidiosis did more damage to the guts of those ones, and they may not be absorbing nutrients properly. Hard to say. You can try adding probiotics to their water, Sav-a-chick makes one pictured below.
