Bloody feces can mean necrotic or ulcerative enteritis. Antibiotics like neomycin and tetracycline, both available OTC and not expensive, are effective in treatment, from what I've read.

Holy Vaulted Skulls Batman!!! lol I've been working on improving the top knots on my showgirls/silkies and I think we're definately making progress! lol This little girl is pictured here at 2 days old...
We ARE!!! Didn't you know?
I think I fell for Val in The Doors... When he played Jim Morrison... Mmmmm...
Was it another BYC member, Kimmie? There was a lady there selling birds and I would not buy any from her, not cuz they didn't look healthy, they did, but I didn't know her, and she was not from BYC. Hope she pulls through this.
My Vanna is still holding on. She's seems to be a little tiny bit better since I confined her to the garage. She is being treated with antibiotics, and I hope we do not have a re-occurance. She is eating and drinking, and I am also supplying her with buttermilk. Hope hope hope. The vet did finally get back to me. He told me to worm the hole lot of them. ALL of them. I said a majority are fine, and he told me to do them anyway since I had one hen die, and now another is sick. He doesn't think its EYP on her, but the worms. He has her on antibiotic as well because he feels that Vanna does have a secondary infection. She's on penicillin and again, she is confined away from the rest of the birds so what ever she has, they do not get. If she passes anyway, he agrees that she needs to go to MSU for testing to see what is wrong with the birds. Oh, that so scares me.
I warned the neighbor to keep an eye on his birds as well, since as ya'll saw by todays pic, they LOVE my underrun. He says he hasn't seen any problems. Crossing fingers that its just these two girls.
I have another broody. I keep taking the eggs away. I may let her try some more. Skatter was a good broodie. She sat on eggs for 31 days! SO... In 2 weeks the meaties go to process, so I would have the broody house back... I dunno though. I am not sure I want more chicks right now. Maybe I will let her have 2. I will have to watch the eggs though, and make sure she's getting eggs from hens that have been covered. Again... Maybe I will just keep throwing her butt out of the nestbox...

OH YEAH! He was super yummy in that... even if he was skanky in it. LOL
I can't believe how nice it cooled down tonight. My chickens weren't all panting up on the roost when I locked them up!
Here my 2 eggs from the little EE's! I was so excited to find them. Sorry, can't really see the tint of them very well. Guess I shouldn't of put them on a blue towel.

Didn't want RaZ to feel he was the only one I noticed crooked things in pictures with. HEEEHEEE!
Legends of the Fall... I have never cried over a movie so much! It is wonderful, heartbreaking, uplifting... Beautiful movie.
Kimmie, then I am sure they'd like to know just in case its something that can effect the whole flock. Hope whoever it was reads the posts and doesn't skim... Like I sometimes do.
