WARNING: GRAPHIC BLOODY PHOTO.
I’m so worried about my 2 month old chicks, they started pooping a LOT of blood over past 2 days!
I don’t know what has happened. I haven’t given them anything other than crumble for their age, 9 weeks.
I’m wondering if they got into some egg yolk (1 raw egg for all 4 hens) that I gave the older hens and they gobbled up, I have always had the 3 chicks separated by a rabbit cage from the rest of the flock in the fenced run area.
Vet tested yesterday for Coccidiosis & parasites, all negative from all 3 chickens. She had me only bring one in and prescribed phosphorus for a water additive daily. So far no change. I’m just worried!!
And my 4 hens are healthy as can be. I have moved the 3 chicks to quarantine in my sunroom to keep a close watch until they’re healed.
SORRY about the graphic photo…. I am desperate to save my chickensi. I love them and spoil them, I will do whatever I need. Should I treat them for Coccidiosis anyway?
