Does my chick have cocci?

[Lynne8511]

Hello. Brand new to chicken raising have six chicks that are about five days old. One of the chicks does not seem to be growing as well as the others. I do see her eat and drink and she is active, but not as active as the other chicks. I’m concerned that she may have coccidiosis. I have attached image of her poop. Any insight would be appreciated.

What are they eating for feed and what is the bedding?

It's not sounding or looking like coccidiosis, and usually if one has it, they all have it. If she or any of them begins standing around, puffed up and lethargic, then I'd treat with Corid asap.

Try giving her some raw egg yolk and I'd get some powdered probiotics to put in their water. We use HydroHen but there are many brands of that.

Thanks. Using Purina medicated start and grow feed. Using puppy training pads laid on top of pine shavings for now so their feed and water is staying pretty clean. She is more active today and still seems to be eating and drinking with no problem. Will try the probiotics as you suggest. Thank you so much for your response.
