Aspirin for chickens is not mentioned here, but this is one of the places I got my dosing info:

It's from this:



Clinical Avian Medicine

Greg Harrison, DVM, Dipl ABVP-Avian, Dipl ECAMS and Teresa Lightfoot, DVM, Dipl ABVP-Avian, have compiled the expertise and experience of 50 international contributing authors (and 50 reviewers) to produce an extraordinary two-volume reference, with over 1000 pages of text and over 1300 color images, for veterinarians and other avian health professionals.
The purpose of the book Clinical Avian Medicine is to provide some highlights of emerging thoughts, techniques and procedures that are currently being assimilated into avian practice.

What dose of Corid did you use? Stop aspirin on chick,i'm wondering if chick with foul smelling poop may have some intestinal damage from aspirin dose or infection,red/maroon color can mean fresh blood from lower GI tract or coccidioisis overload is still not under control.

Chick with leg issue,check for tendon issue,run you thumb down back of leg from where leg joins body to where scales start. Press down while doing this,if tendon has slipped you will feel it,it will feel loose/springy almost like an elastic band,press down you should feel it snap back into place.Try this and report on findings.
 
The corid you used was it 20% powder,b/c the 1.5 tsp dose is for the 20% powder. The Corid 9.6% liquid dose is 2 tsp per gallon of water for 5-7 days. No you do not need to do step down doses,way too much amprolium.

Start your chicks on vitamins.

Yes it is possible your chick has a sprain.

Your chicks are only 9 1/2 weeks old. Most people haven't wormed their chickens at this age, unless they live in a warm wet environment or they have had worm problems in the older chickens, so you haven't done anything wrong. There are no rules on worming, but I would guess 3 months of age might be a time to start. Dawg53 is much more experienced in that area, so I would defer to him. It is important to use something like fenbendazole (SafeGuard, Panacur) that gets most chicken worms, or Valbazen that gets all of them. Cocci is the most common reason for blood in the stools at this age, and you did nothing wrong by treating them with Corid. Corid is the easiest on chicks of most of the medicines to treat cocci, and is not an antibiotic.
