Are these hatchery birds?

Could likey be Coccidiosis. Are they on medicated starter? If not, get some Amprolium (vet/feedstore) if not available get the medicated feed.

No, not zoonotic (here is a short list of for reference): http://depts.washington.edu/rubelab...ASE PREVENTION WHEN WORKING WITH POULTRY.html

thank you for awensering. yea there hatchery chicks. there on a medicated turkey /gamebird starter is that enough, i dont know if its just hot but he/she will just sit there and pant with its mouth open. i dont know if this is connected to cocci.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR HRLP AND THAT LINK

if not C. then it could be something genetic or picking by one at the vent of another. I'd separate out the panter and make sure it was drinking and eating (might have to use eyedropper - be very careful to just drip small amount over side of beak and see that it swallows).

Any more `bloody' droppings?
