Crazy thought @Cyprus but are these some that got loose the other day? You said they are find other than the blood, just wondering if maybe they got into something red (like berries) that made their poop red and bloody looking.

No. They've been locked up.

Maybe its the treatment?

Could be.
Should I take them off it?
They aren't going to fair regardless.

Write a emergency thread. I'll tag some knowledgeable people on there.

Okay. Give me a few.

I'm not too sure if you should, how often do you clean the waterers?

Weekly. They have a metal water dish on a cinder block.

Huh... I guess cucumber=eggs? My ladies have been a little slow in the egg laying department. Twice now, I've given them pureed cucumber, and both times I've gotten more eggs than usual the next day. Interesting.

Huh...I am pretty clueless...I'm sorry I can't help, I just don't have those types of problems with my chickens

Maybe we should start raising crabs View attachment 1461756

I love crabs! Yum! Only problem with raising them is that crabs also love crab (yes. They also say yum)
They will eat the ones that go into soft shell mode as they grow... softies are delicious though, so I don’t blame them.
