Blood in teen chick poop.....normal at what age?

[Henriettamom919]

Hmmm. I wonder why my vet wanted to test my dogs poop then? Thanks for the info. Great help.

Was it a standard domestic pet vet or livestock/avian specific? I suppose the vet's just trying to cover all bases to match appropriate treatment but beware the "add on test upcharge" and don't be afraid to ask why they're testing if they've identified a strain. If they haven't identified it then how did they diagnose the chickens? Be your own advocate for YOU as well as your animals!

The vet took fecal samples from 2 of the 4 chickens. She then did what i think was a float test and then looked at it under a microscope. She is the only one at that office that checks chickens. She only charged $39 for testing, visit, and medicine. She told my little roo that he is handsome.
