Hi, I'm new to this site, so forgive any mistakes that I may make. I am hoping that someone may be able to help answer my question. One of my girls has been having watery poohs for a while with green curddles. The other day I noticed some pooh in the run that had blood in it, can't say for sure that it was hers, but everyone else seems ok. The blood has only appeared one day. She seems healthy, eats and drinks. The only thing that seems off is that she sometimes looks like she is cold, also she hasn't laid an egg in quite a while, but there again, all but 2 have stopped laying. I have 11 total and 8 of them are at least 5 yrs. old, this girl is about 3 yrs. and was hatched by one of my original girls. I am getting new chicks the last of May, they will be kept separate from my girls for now, but I am concerned that after they get older they will be at risk. Thanks for any help.
Hi and welcome to BYC - thanks for joining us. I'd suggest posting on the ER forum - https://www.backyardchickens.com/forums/threads/add/forumId/10. You can always read up on what I suspect it may be here - https://www.backyardchickens.com/newsearch?search=cocci, but its better that the experts diagnose the problem. Good luck CT
