I believe, but please don't hold me to it, that cocci involves bloody poop. What is your chick's diet? Chick starter and fresh water are all it really needs at the moment, treats can come when they're a bit older. I also use organic apple cider vinegar in the water for all of my birds at all ages, including newly hatched. 2 tablespoons per gallon of water or a capful per quart. It helps with a lot of different things one being digestion. Just a thought, it's cheap and effective in my book!! Good luck!
