I woke up to my lone house peep (about 5 weeks old) peeping in distress. This is unusual because for being a lone chick, it's never made a lot of noise. To my horror I discovered it was pooping blood! I figure it got coccidosis from the outside chickens when I took it for an outing the other day. I started with antibiotics mixed slightly stronger than recommended to head it off at the pass, and gave it at a couple of different times today, which seemed to work, because now the poo barely has any blood in it and the chick just ate a ton of feed, which is great compared to having no appetite at all this morning. I've had chicks die from this before and was always sorry I couldn't do much for them. I'm kind of attached to this peep, so I'm really happy that he seems to be doing so much better now.
Oh that is really great that it worked so fast. Keeping
