Rhode Island Chick with dicky bottom

[Oilystairs]

Hi, one of our 3 day old chicks has a slightly protruding and very matted bottom with a little yellow liquid seeping out. Anyone got any ideas what it could be? Thanks

may be coccidiosis,
do they have coccidistat in the chick crumbs?

Hi, none of that stuff in the feed - i'll see if i can find some. Having said that, the little blighter seems to have caught up with his siblings and has cleaned up a bit. Thanks v much
