In the Brooder

One of our 4 week old easter eggers had a bloody looking poop this morning. I noticed one other spot in the brooder. They were supposed to be vaccinated per the breeder. Does this look like Coccidiosis or intestinal lining?

Are any chicks acting sick? Has this poop appeared again? The one sample appears it could have a little blood in addition to the intestinal shed. It's possible to see intestinal shed with coccidiosis, but you would likely see it show up more than once and a chick would appear lethargic and fluffed up and hunched.

If the chicks are all lively and normal and this poop has not been repeated, I suggest just keep a close watch, reserving the Corid for if this happens again.

Vaccinated for Coccidiosis or Marek's?
Where did the chicks come from?

No, they are acting perfectly fine. In fact I only noticed it was specifically her because she was being naughty and flew up and was running around the edge of the brooder while I was getting their food. It was the first time I’ve seen it. I’ll def be watching for more.

I believe both. But I’m going to give them a call and make doubly sure. They were from a local place, not online or Tractor supply. It is a pretty large local business though not a backyard small business. They have not been outside yet, only in brooder inside the house and we have had them since 1 week old. All came from same place.
