Instructions for treating coccidia please. Any info appreciated! I’m doing research on my own but I’d like info from people with personal experience as well.
I had a hen to 8 babies get killed (definitely a predator, not illness, long story but I feel horrible and it was my fault for not triple checking the locks on the “broody coop”) I moved all babies to a brooder I already had setup until I could buy another brooder plate. This brooder has birds that I spent a lot of money on, and have grown very attached to, and now 4 days later, finally got another brooder plate and i’m in here cleaning the brooder out and getting the second one setup and I’m seeing bloody droppings and freaking out because i’ve probably exposed my inside birds to something from the 8 babies. Is bloody stool always coccidia? they’ve been strictly eating starter and have had no treats that could dye their poop.
Starter is unmedicated because that’s all tsc had. No injuries - blood is definitely from their poop. No one is lethargic but I know that can change quickly. The 8 babies are only a week old, the others are a few weeks old now. bedding has been paper towels but just now swapped to pine pellets. help please!
