So i have 3 chicks and one has been having slightly odd poops and seems sick. It had really light tan poops and now just had really bad diarrhea with some mucus on my hand. They are on unmedicated feed and im concerned about coccidiosis. I can pick up meds tomorrow but im not even sure if thats what it is... would it be safe to treat all 3 just in case? I dont want to separate it because it cries so hard alone and is difficult to keep warm. Shes being lethargic and a bit droopy, not eating despite an almost empty crop. Any help is appreciated, this is my first time with chicks and im scared. Theres been no blood in poop except the VERY occasional lining that i also see from my adult birds. Any help is greatly appreciated, thank you

Not saying your chicks have it, but if one bird in a flock has it, then they all should be treated. If you have a chick safe solution then treat all of them, thats what I suggest.
 
Yes pics of the chicks 💕💕
Okay here first pic is my two healthy ones. The blue one is sick.. she was running around with the others this morning but is cowering alone now under the heat pad way more than others and is just not doing great.

Hmmmmm……You could try to give her some raw egg yolk, that could boost up her energy. When I had some lethargic chicks I gave them raw egg yolk and they were very active again

Egg works like mentioned, but it wouldn't hurt to give them rooster booster, or hydro hen. Both are great for giving struggling chicks and hens an extra boost.
