Hi!
I recently obtained 5 beautiful baby chicks and they have all been doing very well. I have had them for 3 1/2 weeks (they're 5 1/2 weeks now). However, today I noticed my Dominecker chick had a bowel movement that was very runny (but it looked more like pee...which I suppose is possible since they do both simultaneously?). After she did her business there was just a little blood that came out & it looked almost stringy (it was not actually in the stool). But she's been acting normal & doesn't look sick. What could cause this? Do she and the other chicks need antibiotics, or is it just bowel irritation?
Thank You!
