Chick is sick!

[Chick_Jimin]

My chick pooped blood in its poop: its watery poop, she keeps on sneezing, she doesn't really want to drink water. Does she have coccidiosis? how can I help her? She is a 1 month old chick

Sounds like coccidiosis. Pics of the chick and poo would be very helpful for further confirmation.

I’m so sorry, I don’t know what it is, I apologize that i can’t help more, but picture would probably be helpful for others.

It wouldn't hurt to begin Coccid treatment for all your Chickens if this is happening...and replace food and water dishes with sanitized ones. Scoop poo often, and add clean bedding...pine shavings dry out droppings fast. Coccid cyysts spread in wet soil and bedding.

Sneezing is also a concern...maybe it was just dust - but maybe best to separate her - keep her warm; and wash your hand often tending them - in case it is contaigious bronchitis. Consider keeping a closed flock, and get Vets diagnosis if she gets worse or doesn't survive.

Did her crop empty overnight? If not, don't force food or water.

Is there any other sign of respiratory infection around her beak or eyes? Maybe read up on that just in case.

Good Luck - hope with TLC and supportive care - she is better overnite!
