Another poo

Ive attached a pic of this mornings poop (they have been sitting on top of brooder and squished it...so not great for form, but have circled areas that appear to contain blood). The poo is generally in ok shape...although there is the odd poo that - if it were a dog - I would say looks a bit...

Oh and there wasn't any claim of vaccination, so I would assume that's not happening...

Thanks Lizzy, The chicks were from a business that's been operating for about a year or two. I did already contact the owner re the small chicks (and we lost four in the first 2 weeks) - but she suggested it was due to me using some meadow hay for their daybed (after which I changed to 100%...

Actually there isn't a breakdown on bag! Just a label outling cocci med...

Pretty sure its on the bag....will grab a pic shortly :)

Ill have a look on bag for breakdown (but photo of feed description atrached). Its sort of seems like theyve had some virus or infection go through, which is compromising their ability to fight cocci (despite meds), grow , and is affecting weaker chicks more than others...?

Ive just noticed another thing about the chicks - abnormal feathers! Its like their primary wing feathers are "waisted' like a kaffir lime leaf....? Ive tried googling - but only similar pic was of a raptor wing with West Nile Virus...Ill post pics of two of the bigger chicks that have more...

Sounds like a plan. I was thinking more ABs for any other infection that may be going on - but yes will have a chat with the vet. Thanks again for your help :)

Thanks again for your help! No sneezing or bubbles..... only the stuck together eyes and crusty corners of mouth (and butt) on the one chick (Im assuming they all would've had it to some degree if it was CRD?) - fingers crossed for no CRD!! I probably would've considered culling the little sick...

The chicks were from a breeder/hatchery (of several breeds). I actually have my own wyandottes that I breed and have never seen the persistent blood in poo or any of these issues really...mind you they're usually raised under a hen so always seem healthy and robust (these chicks were meant for a...

Thanks, im in sw western Australia. Chicks temp seems ok, they have access to shade and seem to move between, that, sunbaking in a spot of sun or under the brooder. I have been also feeding them scrambled egg or pollard, yoghurt and honey mix on average of every 2nd day. But the starter is their...

Thanks, but yes a couple of things going on.. the weird peter pan chicks (theres big size differences within breed too!)...but also the persistence of bloody poo despite medicated starter AND amprolium in water...im baffled!‍♀️

Heres a poop from the sick chick

Thanks! I have been cleaning butt (photo is of 5-6 hrs accumulation)...but it dosent seem to have pasted over at any stage... as yet..? Ive also used some warm eyewash and soaked eyes to get rid of crust...which has allowed her to open her eyes. Vaseline is a good tip too , thanks!

Chicks butt

Chick with closed eyes

Thanks for the replies! The brooder is a brinsea ecoglow (its a heated panel they get under). They are outside during the day and brought inside at night (day av temp 24 degrees c, night time about 16). I cant get a pic of poo atm, but there tends to just be a red spot or smudge in some of the...

Hi, i have 9 baby chicks between 4 and 6 weeks old. They are australorps and barnevelders. They are reared under a brooder (ecoglow) and kept on pine shavings. Two of the chicks are still the same size as a 1 week old chick! The only feathering they have is wing tips. One chick appears...
