They eat whatever is out side and chicken fedIt is always good to know what is fed just to make sure that droppings are not abnormal due to certain vegetables or fruits, and if the chickens are given a balanced feed for laying hens. I would try to get the fecal test on droppings, just to see if the red is blood or intestinal lining, or something else related to food. Coccidiosis and the species of worms can be diagnosed. It can save money on the medications needed to treat those. Corid (amprollium) from the feed store is usually used for coccidiosis and vets sometimes prescribe a sulfa antibiotic instead. Blood in droppings can also be caused by capillary (thread) worms, and needs a multiple dose of wormers. I would not waste money on Wazine or piperazine, since that only treats roundworms.
Thanks I have corid already. Have not gave that to them.

Ok thanks. Can I keep the eggsCorid is pretty harmless, and I would go ahead and start some in the water. Dosage is 2 tsp of the liquid, or 1 1/2 tsp of the powder Corid, per gallon of water for 5 days. Make sure they are drinking the water, and change it daily.
What kind of chicken feed..brand and 'model', protein and calcium percentages??chicken fed
