Sounds like classic coccidiosis. Worm meds are poison and should not be given ti chicks unless they are in a situation where they can get and have worms at such a young age. This is all on ThePoultrySite.com and can be subscribed too free. Cocci can damage the intestines to the point that birds cannot recover. It's imperative that cocci be treated as soon as symptoms appear. Bloody droppings may not be a symptom until the coccidiosis is severe enough to kill the chicks. I treat my chicks on a schedule.

I have a chicken that is supposed to be 10 weeks old but looks like she is 4-5 weeks. She is tiny.
I found her laying on the bottom of the cage and couldn't get up.
She doesn't walk much at all a few steps.
She is NOT thriving but surviving.
She eats and drinks just enough to stay alive.
She sleeps most of the days and nights
She poops ok
She drinks water and it COME BACK UP in about 30-60 seconds
I am guessing this maybe why she is not growing.
I have given her worming med about 2 weeks ago
I had tried electolites about 3 weeks ago
She is getting some electolites now (started last night)
How do I help her???????
Thank you
