Blood colored chicken poop

[joshua k]

I am not sure if this is something that my chicken ate or if it is blood.

How old are your chickens?
How many bloody droppings have you found?

How old are your chickens? What are their ages? I would lean toward treating for possible coccidiosis with Corid liquid or powder if they are having more of those or any are acting lethargic, puffed up and hunched, or not eating. Corid dosage is 2 tsp of the liquid or 1.5 tsp of the powder per gallon of water for 5-7 days. That should be changed daily, and their only source of water. You can moisten food with it as well. Undiluted Corid can be given to an especially sick bird, 0.1 tsp per pound daily for 3 days.

For all of my chickens and ducks

they were vaccinated for coccidiosis and mericks at birth.

they were vaccinated for coccidiosis and mericks at birth.

There are 9 strains of coccidiosis that can infect chickens. Unfortunately, I don't think any of the vaccines cover them all.

Yes.

could you please refer me to a specific one to use that has enough to treat my 18 ducks and 31 chickens.
