TONS of Rust colored Diarrhea ?

[chickenwhisperer123]

I have been having ALOT of rust colored diarrhea in the coop run lately...
It has been coming from the 2 month old chicks, and I dont know what to do.

What causes this?

I am treating them for a suspected case of cocci, but havent seen any blood in the stools, just runny rust colored droppings.

What should I do?!

Is it just cocci showing itself, or is it something else?

They arent really showing any other symptoms, besides maybe grouping together.

UGGHHH.... I just had 6 of them die late yesterday evening (from a dog), and now this....

Are you sure it's not cecal poo, which happens every six to ten movements and is completely normal?:

Have you seen the poo site?

What are you treating them with? What is their feed/treats? Any other symptoms? Bedding? Housing?

Sorry you are going through this....

It looks exactly like that except it has no solid in it... just that rust colored stuff.

Almost all the manure looks like that, so I dont know if it is Ceacal..

Thanks for the replies so far,

last summer it seemed to come on when they were hot, I noticed some today and it has been over 80 the last 2 days and Ive seen them sitting in front of the fan panting.
