Coccidiosis ?

[vancefarm]

I am new to raising chickens and ducks. I noticed what looked like blood in the poop. I thought it might be Coccidiosis but none of my chickens look ill. My youngest son said he feed them some red berries. Should I treat them just in case or wait for signs? Also we just butchered our first rooster, should I not eat it?

They like to perch on the old dog house and this is what I found, if that helps

Welcome to BYC! I'm not sure about your question but I think you should post in the Emergencies section just to be sure: https://www.backyardchickens.com/f/10/emergencies-diseases-injuries-and-cures good luck to you.

Welcome to BYC. Not sure, but the red stained feces looks like 'berry juice'.

Tell your son not to feed them any berries for now and see if their poos clear up?

No more berries for a few days and keep checking the poo. My chickens get very orange poo when they eat carrots. Welcome to the site
