Blood in faeces - should i be worried
« on: March 19, 2011, 10:00 »
I've noticed that one of my hens tends to have blood in her feaces, and there was more this morning - is this something I should be worried about? she's eating and behaving normally in everyway. They're pullets and although I had 2 eggs last week i've not had any since.

have you looked at this section:-

a lot of people think their chickens have blood in their pooh but it turns out to be normal.
Staffies are softer than you think.

I avoided looking at that thread for a loooong time but finally got up the courage just before I got my pullets.  I'm so glad I did because I had exactly the same thing - I would have assumed any sign of 'blood' was something terrible and got myself in a tizz about it.  But seeing the photos of the wide range of 'normal' was very reassuring.

So although I never thought I would say it, I can recommend the poo thread!  (Just not while you're eating...)  :blink:
