I have a 13 week old Mystic Maran that started flaring her neck feathers and making a weird noise whenever she poops. She did have some blood in two of her poops a few days ago, but that stopped. She is eating (chick feed) and drinking normal. Is this constipation? Video of noise and pic of normal, but smaller poop.

Did you happen to get photos of the bloody poop?

What do you feed, including treats?
Do you provide Grit (Crushed Granite) free choice?

See that she's drinking well and eating. Check her crop to make sure it's emptying overnight.

She may be constipated or if you were seeing bloody poops, she may need to be treated for worms and/or Coccidiosis. Getting a fecal float is always best.

For deworming, you can use Safeguard Liquid Goat Dewormer or Equine Paste. Valbazen can also be used.

For Coccidiosis, Corid is the treatment.

==========================================
Liquid Corid dose is 2tsp or Powdered Corid Dose is 1 1/2tsp per gallon of water given for 5-7 days as the only source of drinking water.
Do not add any extra vitamins/electrolytes that contain B1(Thiamine) to food or water during the course of treatment.
==========================================
To treat most worms that poultry can have except for Tapeworm you can use Safeguard (Fenbendazole) or Valbazen (Albendazole). Both are given orally by weight; they do not mix well with water.

Safeguard 10% Liquid Goat Dewormer or Equine Paste dose is 0.23ml per pound of weight given orally once a day for 5 days in a row.
---OR---
Valbazen dose is 0.08ml per pound of weight given orally once, then repeated in 10 days.

Here's how to give oral medications:
