Sick chick

[Chick o Dee]

Hey guys just joined two days ago and seem to be having chick problems. I have one set of chicks that seem to be pooping bloody poop which I read to be coccidiosis. I also have another chick in my brooder from my newest hatch that just had clear, runny poo. Here's a pic

Sorry about your chick! sounds like cocci to me too.

Do you have any Corid on hand?

Welcome to Backyard chickens. It appears that the light bulb is low enough for chicks to fly into and get burned. Can you get some type of wire guard to put around it? Chicks grow very fast and try out their wings early.

I will try the wire guard. Thanks for the advice

I currently don't have any Corid. Do you know if TSC would carry any?
