Hello people, please help!
I have 4 chickens that I help take care of at work and recently I found there poop with this orange/red color in it. I am worried that it might be coccidia although it doesn’t look like the other photos I have see for this disease, could it be intestinal shedding? Two of the birds are about 18 months (Buffy and a speckled Sussex) and the other are maybe 2 years old (Cochins). They were recently treated for scaly leg mites with invermectin, could it also be a side effect of this? I didn’t want to use the invermectin but was out voted, is it safe and has anybody else experienced this symptoms when using it?
Advice is appreciated, very worried chicken mamma
Thank you
Emma
