In the Brooder
This is our first flock of hens. We have 8 (2 Silver Laced Wyndotte, 2 Black Star, 2 Americana and 2 White Rock) that are about 12 weeks old now. We have a poop board under the girls perch at night. I scrap it every morning. Yesterday I noticed what looked like blood on top of normal poop glob. It was just under one hen's spot. I thought it might be intestinal lining, but I found more again today. It's near the same spot on the board but not exactly. I think they line up to sleep about the same every night. Do I have a sick hen or is this "normal" poop. Nice graphic picture. I didn't think to take a picture until I had already put in the poop compost, but that is what it looked like on the board too. Normal poop covered in what looked like blood. Thank you for responding. I'm worried about the girls!!!
