What could be causing my chicken to poop like this?

I recently got a couple chickens. One of them (Lakenvelder) was about 8 weeks old when I got her. She’s about 10 weeks old now. She’s been doing these yellowish, creamy poops ever since I got her 18 days ago. Today I noticed (for the first time) blood in the sample pictured here. I’ve been treating her with Corid for a little over a week in case it was coccidiosis with no signs of improvement. Other than the poop, I think she’s acting perfectly fine. She seems active, social, and seems to have a perfectly fine appetite.

Any idea what could be wrong? I’d really appreciate any advice.

If you have been giving the correct dosing of Corid for 7 days without results, then I'd switch to Endocox (Toltrazuril).

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.


In the U.S. medicated feed contains a minute amount of Amprolium/Amprol which is the same ingredient in the name Brand Corid, so no, the medicated feed would not override Corid.
Don't quote me on this, but I'm pretty sure that medicated feed can override the effects of Corid. @Wyorp Rock?
