What illness could it be??? HELP!!!

Should I give them medicated feed also?

No, there's already 10X the amprolium in Corid as medicated feed has in it. I wouldn't give them medicated feed while on Corid.

Did you have them on medicated before you started taking them outside? I'm curious as if you did, then I won't kick myself for not doing it as I just put chicks outside in a similar situation.

So the older chickens should be fine? They're almost a year old.

Yes. It's these younger ones that got it because they weren't used to the overload of the coccidia to their systems. Your adults are already used to it.

It doesn't hurt them though if you want to be on the safe side and just treat them too. Just make sure no vitamins until they're done with the Corid.

I'd give them vitamins and probiotics after they're done.

felt these large squishy bubble like things underneath their beaks

I am trying to feed them mashed up strawberries and blueberries

I dip their beaks in it as well as mashed up strawberries.

What else are they eating besides Strawberries and Blueberries?

You mention large squishy things under the beak - do you mean their crop?

Do they have Chick Grit (Crushed Granite) available free choice?

Check their crops first thing in the morning before they eat/drink.

They have very large crops in the photos which can be normal if they have been eating/drinking.

Stop the strawberries and blueberries for the time being so you can get good photos of the poop without the fruit coloring it up.
