Obeying her avian masters
I have four hens and added a Easter egger pullet to my flock, from the same breeder the rest of my girls come from, two and a half weeks ago. Four or five days after getting her she had red in her droppings but otherwise seemed OK. I spoke to my "Chicken guy" who thought she may have picked up coccidiosis and I have been treating the whole flock with "Amprolium20" in their water for the past week. I wormed the whole flock a couple of days after getting her.
She only had that one episode of red in the droppings until I found this this morning
The stuff looks more like semi dried tomatoes than blood.
Any idea what it is and what it might signify? She has no visible injury that I could see and appears to be eating and drinking. She is around 12-13 weeks old now.
