Two different problems with my hens

[tifaus]

I have 2 four month old Rhode island reds that are having issues. My first girl is acting normal, she's eating, drinking, laying in the sun, and running around but she has blood in her poop. I'm kinda worried about it. My next girl is acting strange. She's staying away from all the other chickens. Acting tired and is laying around. She's the first picture. Also the poo is not from her. I am so afraid there's something wrong with them. Any answers or advice is appreciated

They mostly likely have a case of Cocci.
You will need to get some Corid asap to treat it.

If you don't mind me asking but what is Cocci? My first set of chickens were healthy as all get out so this is new to me. Is there a way I can prevent it in the future?

This should explain Cocci. http://www.poultrydvm.com/condition/poultry-coccidiosis
There is no way to prevent it...it is pretty much everywhere.
Once you chickens get over this bout of it they will be "immune" to getting it again, but it is possible for new ones to get it.

Does that make sense?

 

[tifaus]

Makes perfect sense. Thank you.

Great...it's a easy fix..just get some Corid in them ASAP.

I will stop by tomorrow and get some. Should I treat all of my chickens just to be safe or would that be too much?

Corid is placed in their drinking water...all can drink it, it will not hurt one bit.
You may want to give the two sick ones a few drops straight in their beak.
I'll find you a few good "instruction" post and link them here for you to read.

Do you have. TSC near you? They sell it there and I would get it ASAP. I just finished treating mine for it.
