    Bloody poop in new chicks? *UPDATE: Poop almost normal again*

    At the end of an entire day on medicated water, Cinnamon now has completely normal poops, and Lacey's poop just has a few streaks of red in it. The others are still perfectly fine. I had no idea it worked so quickly!

    Bloody poop in new chicks? *UPDATE: Poop almost normal again*

    I've just got back from the store and they're happily drinking their medicated water. The store guy suggested I treat them for only 2 days, then wait a week, then treat another 2 days.... something about building up their immunity rather than killing all the cocci strains that are present. The...

    Can I just grind up the crumble and add a bit of of water to that?

    Here's another pic - this one is really blurry unfortunately but you get a better idea of the blood since it hasn't been soaked into a towel.

    Would they look sick otherwise? The one who left the latest "gift" is sitting here chirping up a storm and moving about quite happily. She just pooped again, but on a hard surface so it shows the blood better I think.

    They're only eating chick crumble... it came with the package. They're only a few days old still (Maybe 3 - 5 ish?) so I haven't had them outside or offered anything else yet. Will try and get a pic... any excuse to give one a cuddle

    Bloody poop in new chicks? *UPDATE: Poop almost normal again*

    OK, I just checked and I can get the Amprolium at our local produce store for about $25 (for 100g). The food that came with the chicks as part of the starter package I bought is not medicated, so maybe I should pick up some medicated feed while I'm out? One thing I didn't think about until...

    Bloody poop in new chicks? *UPDATE: Poop almost normal again*

    I've just changed out all their bedding , and it was bone dry. No poop in the feeder or waterer either (must be the world's cleanest chicks - I was expecting to have to clean these out several times a day!). I have no idea what we use here for medicating them so I'll have to contact the store...

    Bloody poop in new chicks? *UPDATE: Poop almost normal again*

    Two of our newbies have quite bloody poops today. I read about coccoidosis etc but it's late here and I can't get anything tonight. I have some ACV in the cupboard, but not the organic stuff, and the waterer is only a small one (2 cups capacity). Can anyone advise whether it's worth adding...
