I am so unset, I let the girls out this morning and found blood by the door, then more under their roost. On one of the roost it looked like "clotted blood" . I have went through some of the other postings and found some info about coccidiosis. They are 18 weeks old and three of them are laying.
I have not checked them yet to see if there is blood on their feathers so not sure which one or ones it could be. Ashamed to say I have not wormed them but their coop is always clean and there has not been any stress, they are very social and we gossip every day They all seem to be fine, none of them are staying off by themselves or any odd behavior. They are still on the Grower Finisher feed by Dumor from Tractor Supply. I also have calcium out for the girls who are laying. And put DE in their food, coop and dusting areas.
I will be going to the feed store for the recommended Corid, if I understood right I will find this with the cattle supplies?
In the mean time are the eggs still safe to eat?
Any advise would be appreciated, this is the first time we have had any concerns for the girls, they have been happy and healthy. So I am one worried Mama.
