Hi all,
I do have photo, but I can't post photos yet. I have 20 barred rocks, 3 orpingtons and 1 buff brahma. They are all between 11 and 18 days old. I did lose one chick soon after I got it from the supplier, but the rest have appeared healthy. However, this morning I came across a watery, bloody poo in the area brooder. There was solids with it, but the water portion of the poo was red. Unfortunately, I don't know who produced it. I watched them for about 1/2 hour this morning and I didn't see anyone produce another. I need to get to work soon, but I will keep a close eye on them when I get back.
Would this be a sign of Cocci? I'm pretty new to this whole chicken thing. Everyone looks normal and healthy. They are all feeding and drinking. I did put some Poul-vite in their water today. Any other suggestions or am I overreacting at this point.
I would love to post a pic, but I don't have those capabilities yet.
Thanks.
