    Bloody urine/poop in 5 day old chick

    Thanks for all of the advise! I will look for some medicated feed, the non-medicated is all our TSC has. I will also find some corid, it sounds like I will need it.

    Bloody urine/poop in 5 day old chick

    My chicks are on pine shavings with paper towels over it and it looks like wet spots of blood on the paper towel. The chicks are all acting fine right now. What do I need to do? I think there food is not medicated, it is Dumor Chick Starter/Grower 20%.

    Has anyone decorated the inside of your coop?

    My coop is currently under construction....painting the inside and no nesting boxes or roosts yet. I am going to let my kids put their hand prints on the inside.

    Breed and sex of chickens

    Hi from Georgia

    We are about 40 miles south of Warner Robins. I forgot to mention that my two oldest kids are in 4H and raised hogs (for 4H). We did have a Bassett Hound, but she had to be put to sleep (had cancer).
