Corid question

[Darsminizoo]

Hi!
I got baby chicks 4 1/2 days ago and 2 passed yesterday morning and I’m suspecting coccidiosis. The breeder vaccinated for mareks and also said he gave them something for cocci. But the birds are different ages and three of them were 2 day old hatchlings and the other 2 are 2 weeks old. So, I’m thinking the older ones got their course of Corid but younger ones only got 2 days. I bought Corid last night. Would it be advisable to treat all three babies at this point just in case? I don’t want to overload the 2 week olds.
Thanks so much!
Darlene

Any signs of coccidiosis? What are the symptoms?

The two that passed away yesterday went quickly and I saw some stool with blood in it. I wasn’t sure who had the bloody stool but it was the chicks that passed

they usually don't die unless there's a lot of blood, but I'd does to be sure.
I could be something else, how's your temperature, feed etc?

They have a brooder plate to go under as their heat source and their feed is organic Purina chick starter which I’ve been tossing into blender to make a mash.

They also have electrolytes and probiotics in their water along with plain water.

Do you have photos of the poop?

If you saw bloody poop, then I would treat with the Corid. It won't hurt them.
Liquid Corid is 2tsp per gallon of water or Powdered Corid is 1 1/2tsp per gallon of water.
Give for 5-7 days as the only source of drinking water.
Don't add electrolytes, vitamins, probiotics, etc. etc. to the water until you finish the Corid Treatment.
