Warning: poop picture
I have chicks, they are just under a week old. Currently on unmedicated feed since there are waterfowl also in the brooder. I put them in a box while I was cleaning the brooder and noticed this reddish poop. It looked a little different than the pictures I saw online so I thought I would come get a second opinion. If it is coccidiosis, any tips on dealing with it? If they don't have it and I treat them for it, would there be any risks? One of the chicks had a prolapsed rectum the other day, if that makes any difference (it has since healed itself) I'm relatively new to poultry keeping so TIA
