Blood tinited droppings initially. If they get too loaded with them, then the droppings will be almost red and they will have ruffled feathers and unactive.

I feed unmedicated feed and havent had a problem. Keep your pens and feeders/waters very very clean.
I also feed my dogs RAW and would prefer that my human and dog family avoid unnecessary antibiotics. As a doctor, I've already experienced my own highly resistant, life threatening infection. Twice. That was twice too many for me.
