    Red stuff in poo in 12 week old pullet

    I have four hens and added a Easter egger pullet to my flock, from the same breeder the rest of my girls come from, two and a half weeks ago.

    What should be first?

    Long time no see, BYC! I'm going to make this post short and sweet lol. What should I treat first? Worms or coccidia? We had devastating flooding, it brought in a bunch of crap. I noticed some thinner chickens today and thought I should treat them to be safe. I have corid(liquid) and...

    I've dewormed my hens and have another week of tossing eggs out. Could I hatch them if fertile?

    And that's my question. I have a rooster, and as I've been throwing out these beautiful eggs, I wondered if any were fertile . . . and if I could hatch any that are. Do I run the risk of 'birth defects?'
