Hello, i recently bought this cute silkie hen last night. Today i was getting her used to me and she seemed pretty tamed but i never saw her run. I realised her poop was very reddish orange and i’m just really worried she might be sick? or is it the new environment? perhaps coccidia? She seems...
Howdy,
As of this evening my beloved bantam hen has been defecating what appears to be watery blood. All the research I've done says this is a symptom of the deadly coccidiosis bacteria but she is showing no other signs of illness.
Her appetite is verocious as ever and she's acting normal...
WHAT IN TARNATION??!!
I was cleaning out the coop this morning and found a bloody lump of something... strange. It was alongside the other droppings under the perch. It looks like maybe an undeveloped egg, but I really can’t tell. There’s quite a bit of what looks like coagulated blood in there...
My smallest micro hasn’t been feeling well these past two days. I noticed it yesterday when she didn’t run to eat food, as her and the others always do. She’s in a separate coop now, doesn’t have much of an appetite or energy. Luckily she’s not nodding her head or anything and she’s still able...
Hello! I’m hoping someone might have insight for my chicks. They’re almost 9 weeks now and I’ve started to see pink/red mucous streaks in their droppings some of which are loose but still contain white cap. I’m noticing more now that they are pretty raspy sounding when they talk. There are 16 of...
While cleaning my coop this morning I found this bloody stool, not really sure who it was from but I checked them all and they all seem fine, eating, drinking, acting as usual so not sure if I need to do anything? Or what this would mean? I do have an all in one antibiotic if needed or corrid in...
I cleaned out the coop and today I found this, it’s a fresh dropping. Is this blood? I am worried it’s Coccidiosis. All of our 4 hens are acting normal, they are active and eating/drinking. One hen looks like she may have lost weight. I haven’t seen any more bloody stool. They are all about 5...
is this intestinal shed or coccidiosis? The hen in question is still eating, energetic, and doesn't seem sick. This is her second poop like this today, both times with a minimal amount of blood/red stuff.
Hello! I have 25 broiler birds in a mobile chicken tractor that gets fresh bedding daily, and moved 1 time every 2-3 days. I noticed this this morning, is this bloody stool? I don’t notice any other symptoms other than it sounds like there is one bird that is wheezing when it breathes. I’m...
I have a bird about 10 weeks old I noticed an eye issue with this morning. I have had these new birds about 3 weeks. One eye has a mass on it, not sure if someone picked her or if she injured it. The other eye is staying shut now. Once I pick her up and move her around some she opens it and it...
So I recently (like this morning) found what appears to be blood in my chickens stool. I believe it’s coccidia, how ever I cannot seem to get any antibiotics online or in store (I can’t find any anywhere), does anyone have any tips or suggestions or information to share? No one acts sick or...
Hello! I hope everyone is enjoying their weekend. On two separate occasions in the past couple of days, I've noticed a teeny tiny bit of slimey orangish possibly reddish stringy (not worms or wormy) matter in some feces in the brooder with my nine 3 & 4 week old chicks. I wanted to treat with...
I have 5 baby chicks about 1.5 months old. At least one (the smallest, a dark Brahma) has some watery white stool with traces or orangish red, started sept 7. All chickens including the smallest are frolicking around, eating and drinking normally. My neighbor said it’s probably coccidiosis. I’m...
Hello! Our wonderful Cuckoo Marans hen raised two batches of chicks this year. The second batch hatched on Halloween. (Now 2 months old.) One of the babies has always seemed frail. At first it was just that she seemed always to be cold, hunched with her feathers poofed out. As time has...
my 9 week old chicks just moved out to their chicken tractor today after the overnight death of my favorite chicken in the brooder box. I hatched them out here on October 13th and was unprepared for how fast they would outgrow their brooder. If I had electricity or it was summer it wouldn’t have...
Today I was walking up the driveway and I saw some bloody stool in front of the coop. What may have caused this? A couple of weeks ago I saw some stool similar to this but I didn't think much of it. The budget is pretty tight at the moment but I'll get some wormer as soon as possible. I have...
