brand new here and to chkn raising got a sick chick i think

[sasycknlady]

My chicks are still in their brooder, at least until saturday. I have 10 BO they are going to be 4 wks on sat. I let them out this am to roam the yard and noticed one of them has been pooping blood. I watched them for a while thinking they would pick on the one that was sick or injured but didn't notice anything. I also checked all of their butts when I let them out but didn't see anything that I thought was out of the ordinary.

Any thoughts or suggestions?

They are still on starter food and always have water available. I let them out every evening to stretch their wings because they are really almost too big to be in the brooder anymore. I can't think of any other details I can give...

Good luck!
