From researching the forums and Google I see this question has been asked, roughly estimating, 908billion times, and for some reason I feel like I need to ask again because I am not sure. I did pick up on how to treat it (going to go with Corid if I need to treat) but I wanna be sure I need to.

1) does this look like shed lining or coccodioriahcos?

2) even if it isn't, would corid be bad for the chickens if I gave them some?

3) would finding a vet to do a fecal drop test be the smartest way to handle this before doing anything else?

4) how much of an emergency could this potentially be? Like should I skip work to get this figured out immediately (i dont have any concern with being fired or anything, but I do have stuff to do lol)?

Thanks for your help!

It looks more like shed lining to me. How ever, if you have any doubt, it does not hurt to start everybody on Corid. Coccidiosis can kill quickly, so better safe than sorry in my opinion.corid is very safe, it works by suppressing the B vitamins that the coccidia need to survive. This gives the birds systems time to build up a resistance to the parasite.

Yeah i thought (hoped) it was shed lining but I'm an overworrier when it comes to these girls. I'll get a fecal float done by a vet a few blocks away and then go from there. Thank you for your response!
