Is this coccidiosis poo? It's kinda slimy don't really see blood, but my guy is acting strange. Should I go ahead and start corid? Is it okay to treat even if it isn't C? TIA
I am on day 17. I took an egg out to candle it and I noticed a crack. I thought I had put it there so I put wax on it. As I was applying the wax I heard it peep. I am guessing it has internally pipped. Question is: do I take the wax back off or leave it alone? Do I go ahead and put them in lock...
