Buff Orpington chicks

[poppyschicks]

I have 1 month old BO CHICKS? SOME of the poop appears bloody, a reddish brown. I have 24 so I cant tell which one or ones are having bloody poop. Any suggestions?

Check the poo page if you will to see if it is shed intestinal lining (normal) or bloody poo. The shed intestinal lining is mushy whereas from my experience there is no mistaking true liquid blood.

If you are dealing with real bloody poo then it is likely coccidiosis at that age - please do post to get help for treatment as it is an emergency if that is what it is.
