Cochins passing pure blood - Cocci Kills

@Cyprus so sorry to hear you lost them. Sounds like those poor little birds never had a chance to build up their immune systems. I don't think it was your fault. Thanks for sharing it so we all can learn.

I am going through the same thing with a hen for the past couple weeks. She is having blood coming from her vent not in her Poo. When I first saw the blood I put everyone on liquid Corid, the regime posted in the chart at the beginning of this thread 5 days sever dosage then 5 days preventive. It did not change anything for the hen. Now her vent is swollen but no prolapse or injury to the vent and the bleeding continues worse on days I find an egg in the nest box. The eggs I find in the nest box are normal and clean. I have found no mites or lice or seen worms in poop. Abdomen is normal no swelling noted I have started trying to treat for vent gleet with Epson salt soaks and monistat 7 on the vent- I am not sure I am doing this right, and ACV in water. I am hand feeding her scrambled eggs or moistened chick starter in the evening to be sure she is eating as she is secluding herself to a corner in the coop or nest box. I have also given Poultry cell liquid vitamins. She is the only one with any symptoms. Any suggestions on anything else I should be doing for her.

I found these picture informative:

@NNYchick - any chance she's been in with male ducks? That sounds more like an injury. Or maybe some sort of tumor or infection?

No ducks around only my silkies. Should I treat for infection? If so with what, I know if it is veet gleet antibiotics would most likely make it worse but should I try antibiotics?

Vent gleet would be sticky white discharge, not blood. It's kind of hard to say really, without knowing what's actually going on. You could try procaine penicillin or fish mox...

I would stop putting the AVC in her water immediately
It can cause problems with her absorption of calcium.

round worms can get into the reproductive tract. Consider checking on that too

Can you have a vet look at her?
