Sour crop or cocci? Both?

I believe I’m in the beginning stages of sour crop. Lethargic, picked her up & a bunch of gunk came out. No smell. But then I saw this poop, pictures below. She’s 4.5 months old. Wondering if this is just sour crop poop or I’m dealing with both.

The poop is questionable.

I'd start Corid for Coccidiosis and go ahead an address the crop symptom as well.

Check the crop first thing in the morning before she's had anything to eat/drink. If it's not emptied, then begin treating. If the crop is fluid filled, I'd treat as Sour giving Miconazole, Clotrimazole or Nystatin as discussed in the link. https://www.backyardchickens.com/ar...w-to-know-which-one-youre-dealing-with.73607/

Be sure she has access to chick starter and grit (crushed granite) free choice and watch to see that she is drinking the medicated water.



Liquid Corid dose is 2tsp or Powdered Corid Dose is 1 1/2tsp per gallon of water given for 5-7 days as the only source of drinking water.
Do not add any extra vitamins/electrolytes that contain B1(Thiamine) to food or water during the course of treatment.
