I started with my small flock this past June with 2 barred rocks, and 1 astralorp. In addition to those I now have 2 rhode island reds and 4 golden laced wyadottes. I love them all very much. BYC has been so helpful for me starting out. I have a health question though. My barred rock rooster, now about 4 1/2 months old, started with blood in his stools a week ago. He still seems active, ranging around the yard, eating, coming up on the porch for his morning hello. I am worried about him. Any thoughts or suggestions?

First of all, welcome to BYC! Here's a link to see if his poo looks like any of these. He could have cocci. If he does, you'll need to get him started on corid asap.

Welcome from an imp in Washington

You joined a great site.

And Oregon Chicken Gal is correct. Blood in the poop can mean Cocci.
