Is this the start of cocci?

[Peachychicks]

Hey!

New to chicks & I’m worried! We hatched 10 chicks recently, they will be 3 weeks Saturday.

Today while doing daily chicken chores I noticed some stool look like this (pic attached), google was conflicting…

I went out and bought corrid to be safe and started them on it tonight. Will they be ok if it’s not coccidiosis?

Also forgot to add no chicks seem to be acting off and we’re eating and drinking just fine

if its not coccidiosis its from stress. but the poo will be red and won't have blood. But I think it is coccidiosis. I'm 90% sure it is and if the first pic is what they're poops be looking like then they have it for sure.

It does appear so! You can get corid at your feed store. Dosage and how long to feed should be on the bag

Oh interesting! I didnt know stress could cause that!

It's intestinal shedding which is normal.

I know Corid can be a treatment and preventative. I shared a post recently of our bought with coccidiosis, and our chicks were hunched over like they were cold.
(Search my name and 'urgent')

I was told 2tbs per one gallon of water. Good luck

Yes, but it would be like a brown red not a super bloody red.

This is what I also wondered, as I said google was conflicting and I’d rather be safe than sorry!
