Hi all!!!! so yesterday I brought home 4 hybrid chickens- One road rock, one speckledy , one Colombian black tail, and one blue hybrid sometimes called Bluebell or blue rock and they are all wormed and Deloused and vaccinated against the common chicken diseases including coccidiosis. I put them in the coop yesterday and they are on chick crumbs mixed with millets seeds as a scratch food and they are also on show growers pellets mixed in the feed which are about half a cm long . All of them look alert and happy and Are eating fine and drinking water fine but however the blue hybrid hen has started pooping blood- like going for a poop but instead small drops of blood and a bit of stool pass out and blood in visible in her poop. I thought it might be something to do with not having Enough grit so I gave them grit. That was about two hours ago and since then she has not done a bloody poop or popped blood . My only worry is. Coccidiosis has a symptom which includes bloody poop but she has been vaccinated against this- and if I gave her Medicated feed wouldn't that render the vaccination useless and make them more succeptible?? I don't want to overdose them on vaccination or medication and make them more vulnerable, All the hens are seven weeks old and the bedding is wood shavings - which they sometimes peck at and maybe swallow ?is there any other reasons for bloody poop and blood ? Could it be that they just moved in? Bigger feed pellets? Not enough grit? I just hope it isnt coccidiosis and how could it be if She is vaccinated and wormed?i will include some pictures of the hen when her poop - Any cure / advise would be greatly appreciated asap!!!!! Thanks in advance all!!
