Runny stool and blood

[ChooksChick]

Okay, it looks like it could be worms, enteritis, or injury.

I guess I'd look for signs of worms first, and try to observe any other symptoms next. Here are some of the links I used:

http://edis.ifas.ufl.edu/PS044

This has a chart that's particularly helpful.


http://www.ces.ncsu.edu/depts/poulsci/tech_manuals/small_flock_resources.html#problems

This has a zillion helpful links.


This is the best source, if you know what you're looking at, but it can help to diagnose if you have a lot of time.


Good luck!

Glad to help- it looks like I forgot the link to the one that has the most info...

This is well worth the time reading if you ever get a chance. Again, if you have a diagnosis, it's good to look at the depth of info here.

Ah. If it is worms then that would explain why the problem has cleared up now. I have a wormer I use on all my birds after a certain age and continue using on a nessisary basis. The wormer is called Wazine 17. Its for turkey, chicken and swine. Its pretty easy to give. 1 oz of liquid wormer to 1 gallon of water.

Tada!

Well, at least we'll all know what to consider when a teen or adult has bloody stool now, right? I love accumulating chicken knowledge.
