The pile next ro stick is all the fleshy stuff from the poops(mixed with a little poop) I started Corid yesterday because one was having straight blood poops, I was putting kids probiotics in their water for the 24 hrs prior(when I first noriced) and that pretty much stopped blood, but sinc starting Corid, there's these fleshy things. She is not as warm as my other chick and I was trying to force her to take a concentrated corid dose yesterday and think some got in her trachea as she has been making a small smeezing sound since, but also thinkinf maybe she's gettinf a cold from not being as warm? Idk what to do? They're almost 7 weeks old. Mine seems fine. Both eating and drinking normal. I thought maybe the fleshy was stomach lining from her trying to fix herself? But am unsure, please help.

Hopefully your chick did not aspirate, if she did it can cause aspiration pneumonia.
Here is an older thread with advice on treating that and maybe someone with more experience in that area will chime in: https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/aspiration-pneumonia.625282/
For my very young chicks I usually just drop a drop on the tip of their beak and let them swallow, or put a drop or two in the crease of my finger and dip the beak in that. Usually works OK that way.
For the corid, it can take several days to see improvement from the coccidiosis infection.
Just to clarify the correct doses are 9.5ml (or 2tsp) per gallon of water of the liquid corid, or 1.5 tsp of the powder per gallon of water, made fresh daily and treat for 5 to 7 days.
Once you have finished treatment it's a good idea to give some probiotics for a few days to help get the gut back in balance, and to give a vitamin supplement that contains thiamine likewise, since the corid is a thiamine blocker and they are young growing chicks.
Don't give a vitamin during treatment as it may decrease the effectiveness of the medication.
Most of your pictures look more like intestinal lining, but quite a bit, but a couple look like maybe a little blood to me. Coccidiosis does not always present with blood, so if you have a sick chick it is better safe than sorry, and I would treat. The corid is not likely to hurt them in any case.
Hope your chick recovers.

Yes the blood has mostly stopped, there was a little on a couple poops, but no straight blood since overnight the previous night, which I'm thankful for, but all this fleshy stuff is stressing me out. Ima try to get a smaller syringe. I only have one for like children, not a cc one.
