9 week chick hen - blood
« on: August 14, 2009, 22:06 »
Can anyone tell me or give me an idea why my chick has a small amount of blood in her poo. She is on chick  crumb with a little corn (just started). 
I started off with stuart and shell.  Babies arrived, kept ginger and hussy. more babies daisy, stuart little and missy.
I have more babies arriving as I am writing.

may be coccidosis, if it is it needs treating asap as it can be contagious and lethal,
have a read through this it may give you some idea of what you might be dealing with.

Are you sure its blood?  I used to worry about that, but look at the 9th picture on here...

and you'll see that is normal.  Otherwise it could be cocci, apparently there's a lot of it going around!
