Needing help. My aunt sent me this photo this morning. I sold her 3 silkie hens and a rooster a few weeks ago and all were extremely healthy when sold. Should I treat with corrid??

I am not an expert by far and that looks a little different than a normal cocci poop. I would still treat with corrid for the time being and maybe chick electrolytes.
 
Thank yall so much! I'm going to take her corrid in the morning. It doesn't look like normal cocci to me either but I usually treat with corrid every time I see blood in stool.
 
How old are the chickens. When chickens move to new ground or are exposed to new chickens, they can be exposed to a different strain of coccidia or more of it. Treating for both coccidiosis and worms would be wise. Use the Valbazen that @dawg53 recommended, or you can use SafeGuard for 5 days in a row 1/4 ml per pound given orally.

They are almost a year old. She went by rural king this morning to pick corrid up and they told her it was for cows so she ended up not buying any. I am going to bring her some today. Is the safeguard for horses? I think I have some in my car for my horses I could use.
 
They are the only chickens there. She had some last year that ended up getting worms so she treated them. She gave them away before winter. I'm going to help her sanitize her Coop and see if that helps. I've never seen anything like this before
