This poop doesn't look right HELP WE HAVE A BIGGER PROBLEM IT SPREAD

I'm not sure if it passes through the eggs, but I wouldn't want to eat them just incase because of the meds.

Would it be okay to feed those eggs the chickens if they were scrambled?

I really don't have a clue

I know when we wormed our chickens/ducks, we threw the eggs into the woods for 10 days after the worming....

So, in my opinion, seeing that the Sulmet and Corrid are medications, I wouldn't eat the eggs myself or give them back to the chickens...

But let's see if someone more knowledgeable comes along and tells you what you can and can't do with the eggs

I know throwing away eggs sounds dumb and wasteful, but just keep the health of your family and chickens in mind

The coccidiosis will not spread through the eggs.

Sulmet is better than nothing, but you can also find other products that will help- sulmet is very hard on the gut. I would highly recommend you call all feed and farm stores in your area and see if they carry Manna-Pro Deccox or any amprolium product- it doesn't have to be corid brand. Deccox is pellets and can be given to many different animals, including chickens.

If you say it's for coccidiosis, you may ring a bell in the person who answers the phone- calves get coccidiosis as well, and the fact that it's chickens usually makes the phone staff flatline.

Here's info on Deccox http://www.mannapro.com/ah_deccox.html

Do continue the sulmet until you have a better option, but mitigate the damage with yogurt, and put powdered milk in their feed, as well.

I just went out to check on them and I saw this poop.I did not take this pic. It looks exactly like it though.

I don't think that poop means they are getting better. Btw they have had about 3 or 4 of these so far today. I still haven't found out who yet.

You don't have anyone sort of fluffing up in the corner and being lethargic? If you don't, i would say that's a good sign. Are they all still active and eating and normal?

They are all active. I have not seen anyone beibg lethargic. They have been free ranging for the last couple weeks because their run has been flooded and muddy because of the rain. We got 6 eggs today. 2 blue and 4 brown. Btw they have never been lethargic. It has just been the bloody poop.

My dad made some scrambled eggs and I am going to feed those to them in a little bit.
