Good morning,
I just brought chicks home yesterday from a local breeder, I saw their chick brooder that they were in and it was clean and I didn’t see any concerning poop in there. They were on a different food that I wasn’t able to find (a higher protein and unmedicated), so I brought them home yesterday and gave them electrolytes in their water, I got some medicated crumbles (because I want them on medicated feed, she did not say they had been vaccinated). And they have been doing okay, they were under the heater plate and they’ve come out and got some food and water, I haven’t seen them eating a ton, but I have caught them eating, they’re drinking, but there is bloody stool and running poop. Can stress from a new home cause that? I have corid in my chicken supplies, should I dose them? And if so what is the dose? Should I add probiotics to their water? They are 3.5 weeks old she said, one is quite a bit smaller than the other 2 but she said they were all around the same age, they all are fuzzy with feathers started but the two bigger ones have more feathers than the smaller one (the littlest is an EE), the other two are an Amerucauna/Brahma and a Copper maran. How long after I bring them home should I put electrolytes in their water? They didn’t have that in their water in their other brooder, but I’ve always gave them that when I bring them home. Thanks so much!!
