I have a 2 year old welsummer hen that has had small amounts of blood in her poop for the past 2 weeks (pictures below). I finished treating them for worms with Safegaurd for goats about 5 days ago and did the emergency dosage of cord at the same time. Now I have them on the 7-14 day lower dosage of Corid but I still found poop with blood on the top today.
She seems to have been molting since the end of April and hasn’t been laying eggs since about February. She’s been more stand offish and skiddish than usual. Her comb has shrunk and is pale pink, which I thought was because of the molt. She’s been eating less, but seems motivated to eat wet layer mash, as well as the scramble eggs and Greek yogurt I’ve been giving her to boost her protein.
Would love any advice or thoughts on what else I could try or what it could be.
