We have a new flock just two weeks old in a brood cage. They all seemed to be thriving but we just found a dead bird.
Three days ago, I had to change their feed from the organic turkey starter to local gamebird feed. The new feed is 30%protein.
I noticed some maroon stools in the cage and thought it was the change in feed. Since this bird died, I'm seeing a lot of maroon stool all throughout the cage.
Is maroon stool common in some feeds or change in feeds? Could all this stool been from this bird? Could all the birds have something and this is the first fatality if the flock is not treated?
Anybody know what could have happened?
Thanks for your help!
