Hello.
Recently my chicks were born. I took them when they were 2-3 days old. I noticed my one chick has been getting poop stuck around her vent, however some of this poop has been orange and stringy. Google is saying it could be coccidosis, but also shedding of intestinal lining. This chick seems fine aside from that, she’s running around in the brooder, as well as eating and drinking fine, and eating from my hand. She doesn’t seem sick but I also read it takes coccidosis 4-8 days to spread. What do you think I should do? I know it’s treatable but we’re also about to go on vacation. We’ll have. Caretaker for them, but I’d like to refrain from having our caretaker having to treat them. Can shedding of intestinal lining be one after the other sometimes, or is it once every few turds? Thank you in advance
