Hi, my 7th chick has hatched. It’s two days old now. It hatched in the evening and spent the night in the incubator. I moved to a small brooder next morning and it was chirping like crazy then it pooped and there was a ton of blood with it. It was jellied too. Drinking and eating normal and...

Hi! A 14 week old cockerel recently pooped this:
And a 14 week old pullet pooped this:
Are these normal? They all behave normal, eat and drink normally. Please help!
Hello! I have 25 broiler birds in a mobile chicken tractor that gets fresh bedding daily, and moved 1 time every 2-3 days. I noticed this this morning, is this bloody stool? I don’t notice any other symptoms other than it sounds like there is one bird that is wheezing when it breathes. I’m...
:( Long story short: We lost a new Sussex chick to coccidiosis last night. We purchased it with two other 5wk olds from McMurray Hatchery. It was less than 1/2 the size of the other two, and not eating or drinking, right out of the box. Being new to raising chickens (we also have 3 young hens...
One of my silkies has started pooping blood, caught it yesterday but I’m not sure how long they’ve been doing it. They get fresh water 24/7 and chick starter crumble. They are the only one with bloody stool. It’s been 93°- 97° Here so I’m not sure if heat has to do anything with it. Here is a...
We finally found a few chicks to keep my lone Brahma chick company (the guy the batch was hatched for didn’t want it because it ended up being splash); 4 2-3 week old buff Orpington chicks that are just a little younger than my Brahma, 3 of which look to be hens :fl.
We brought them home, they...
Hello! I have a question about a small amount of blood I found in my coop that appeared to be mixed with mucus and poo.
I'm guessing it's related to either that my pullets have just begun laying or that my surprise cockerel has started trying to make babies. The whole flock is vaccinated...
I have dealt with Coccidia before, but I'm not that familiar with it. I made the mistake of introducing a roo who i thought was clear of it in wit my main egg layers. I took him out immediately the next day after observing his droppings.
Now I noticed this. Not sure if this is early coccidia...
Hello,
I have a pullet who was sick about a week ago. I treated her with corid and SafeGuard and she seemed to recover so I put her back with her flock. This morning she has a bad limp in her right leg. There is no obvious injuries - swelling, blood etc. I cant tell what part of her leg is...
Hi,
One of my pullets is pooping a lot of bright red blood. It looks like a blood clot. I just put the one that I think it might be in her own crate to see if it’s her. Our coop is about 2 days away from completion so they’ve had very little time ourside. To my knowledge, there has been no...
I had 9 chicks still in a brooder in my garage that have had no issues till last night. I noticed that a few of them had large bulging crops so I felt them and gave them coconut oil water and put them in a tote with just water over night. Well their crops are fine now but now they are pooping...
The title says it all, my hen ate a piece of glass that was a bit larger than a pomegranate seed. I don't know what to do other than just wait. I have since put all my chickens in their coop/run and they will no longer free range until I look over my yard in case of any other pieces of glass. So...
I noticed one of my hens had some blood on her butt and checked the roosting area to look at her poop and it was bloody! She laid an egg this morning and eats, drinks, and is very active. Her egg did not have any blood on it either. She only eats lay feed and sratch grain and is about 10...
Hello,
I'm new to chickens, these are my first. I got 11 chicks from the hatchery and everything seemed fine. I am feeding them medicated feed. Then on friday I got 7 new chicks from someone, approximately the same age. They had not been on medicated feed. On Saturday I noticed bloody poop, on...
I went to let my girls out and my 1yr old Wyandotte hen had a poopy butt with some sort of bloody chunk. I checked the coop and no blood or other chunks. I have never seen this before so I was wondering if anyone knew if this was normal or not. She is otherwise acting fine and has been laying...
5 week old chicks with very bloody poop. They've been on a medicated food since I got them and only just a few days ago switched them to regular chick feed. Should I get them on corid?
Hello everyone, I have a young cuckoo Maran rooster who is about 2 months old, and has seemed very healthy and strong, until this morning. I had gone on an outing and had asked a family member to lock up the chickens for me, she did, but she said she didn’t count the chicks. This morning another...
It must have started last night because i didn't see anything while she was out yesterday. Just came out this morning to small puddles all over the garage floor and in her nest/sleep box. Please help,
i picked up two 5week old Ameracauna pullets yesterday. This morning they have bloody poop and one just pooped something that looks like a worm! Do I treat with Corid? Or a wormer? Advice please! Photos in comments.
