Only found this one.None are acting relatively sick,other then one hen separating herself from
The flock regularly,but she isn’t acting ill,did just switch them to a new feed they have been on it for about three days maybe?And lots of times they get into the chicks medicated chick feed(although I am unsure of who did that poo above,but think it was my ee hen who hangs and eats the chicks feed,but it coulda been anybody and likely the younger birds could have done it)
Any thoughts?And what’s a good dewormer?
 
That looks more like shed intestinal lining to me than blood. For me, I don't worry about that unless someone is acting sick, or I'm seeing an awful lot of it. Others will recommend treating with Corid to be safe regardless, just in case it's coccidiosis. If you are seeing more bright red in any droppings, like fresh or dark blood, then definitely treat for coccidiosis. The worm is a round worm, pretty common in chickens. Safeguard liquid goat wormer (fenbendazole), Valbazen (albendazole), or Wazine can all be used for roundworms. Wazine only treats roundworms, the other two are broad spectrum wormers that will get most worms. I personally prefer Safeguard or Valbazen since they are direct dosed to the birds and you know they got the proper dose, Wazine is mixed in the water.
 
I have wazine in hand as of right now,I’d have to go buy the others,so I should I just use Wazine?None of my birds are acting ill and have ysptoms of cocci,no stumbling or anything of the sort.Since most of my adult birds are atleast three years or older they do sit around a lot but act normal other wise.
 
Jesus,everytime a bird gets something in my flock it all comes at once,their currently getting treated for lice as of right now.
 
Worms can cause blood in feces, particularly capillary worms. It's also possible for birds to have multiple types of worms at once.
I agree with the others, treat them first with wazine to get rid of the large roundworms. Then in 10-14 days treat them with safeguard liquid goat wormer for 5 days straight, or valbazen for one day, then repeat again 10 days later to get rid of the other types of worms.
 
Just out of curiosity,the wazine has vcertain amounts for certain ages,hoe much should I Usenet because all bird range from 6 weeks to six years.
