The oddly colored poo also suggests Cocci.

I would start corid now since they die withing a couple of days from symptoms like you are seeing. 20% powder is at the feed stores. I bought mine from TSC.

20% CORID POWDER....1.5TSP. PER GALLON FOR 5 DAYS and then another 5 days at 1/2 tps per gallon.
and to repeat it every 3wks if they have symptoms until they reach 9mos. of age.

Wait i missed it: What is "oddly" colored poo? Just wondering what to look for in the future.
I wondered about Cocci because as weird as it sounds: my cocci babies had almost the same behavior as my egg bound hen. As I took care of them, I wondered if older hens can get cocci. Then thought it might be hard to distinguish between the two ailments

Yes the can. Think of cocci like worms. Everyone has it but you can get too many and that is bad.

not 100% but the feet look like something from the mink / weasel family

Isn't that funny that there are so many different opinions

When I looked at the feet there was no doubt in my mind that is a raccoon.

Cocci rips up the stomach--causes blue to black poo. Sometimes red and bloody.

@audio51 i noticed that too and i didnt mean to post so many times xD

No problem......I just wonder what is causing it. I can see this post just fine. Hopefully it has fixed itself.

Ok. She's actually 10 months old I looked up the date. Also there is other birds that have the same poo. Should I do my whole flock? A lot of them are over 9 months.

How long do I wait to eat the eggs?

Coccidiosis is always a threat those first 9 months. Especially if they have not been given Corid as a preventative in the water or medicated feed. There is no withdrawal time for Corid (Amprolium).
