4 week old bantam I received Friday just died - super super pale and pooped out nasty blood (see pics) so was thinking coccidia- when I went back to clean up the pen and Check the other 4, there was a worm- almost looked like a baby earth worm- and I can’t Id it. I don’t know what I should do for treatment and how contagious that it would be since I had them in a brooder cage next to another brooder cage. I am really freaking out here! Please help!!

That looks like a regular garden worm, any chance one could have gotten in your wood chips or something? Typically parasitic worms are smaller and stringier than that. We use diatomaceous earth (food grade) for ocassionally deworming of our birds. As far as the coccidiosis I know nothing about that, if it were me I would just clean the living birds cage really well and pray for the best.
