    Bloody poop from a roo

    Thank you. I’ve been busy out there sterilizing and treating the whole flock. Had corid on hand so they are now on day two of seven. No other birds have shown symptoms but they’re all being dosed.

    Bloody poop from a roo

    He is a blue silkie almost 2 years old. Lives with just one hen. No trauma and no explanation. Started last night seeing as the pictured poop is still wet. He’s acting normal, eating, drinking and dancing for his hen. Any advice is appreciated. I’m going to bathe him and inspect more carefully.

    Found this chick bloody all the way down to the flesh.

    Oh NO....poor little girl! I’m sorry that happened to her and that you lost her after all you did to help her.

    That’s EXACTLY what I was talking about...it IS muscle tissue that is in the first pic! I could see the edges of skin around where the torn skin was from. I thought I had a second chick that was attacked and just had some missing feathers. I didnt think there was anyway it could heal that...

    Yes, it was a rooster in an adjoining coop! Here is a pic just 4 days after the assault! Feathers already growing back? I’m so amazed at how fast she’s healing!

    Just a quick update on that bloody chick....she’s doing so much better! The skin has sealed over so it’s not raw flesh anymore and not oozing at all. She escaped her little pen area today and found her way back to her flock. I let them hang out and range throw out the day and none of them even...

    Thank you...yes I didn’t think about the surrounding feathers. Yes, they are getting stuck in the ointment. She’s in the house so I don’t have to worry about the flies. I can imagine what a problem that would cause!

    I’ll try the dry sugar. She separated from the others so i won’t worry about her being picked on...thank you

    Found this chick bloody all the way down to the flesh.

    I found her this morning. She is an eight week old silver laced Wyandotte. She is in a coop with her 5 siblings adjacent to a coop with 3 older/larger Svart Hona’s (my suspect’s). She was still actively bleeding and a clump of missing feathers were in the adjacent coop. I washed the area with a...

    I’m not sure if this could be mites...it spreads around

    Thank everyone for the input on my little one....she isn’t getting any worse and the skin isn’t red and swollen anymore. We noticed it as we were moving them into a larger area so...perhaps that helped the picking. We havn’t noticed any one singling her out.
