Weird Chicken Poop

No need to wait, you can start them as soon as treatment is complete. Glad they are doing better.

Thank-you

I will be giving them probiotics, but was also wondering if I should be giving them this flock fixer to help build up their immunity?

That's just electrolites with some vitamin E in there, along with probiotics. I would just do the probiotics and fresh, clean water. If you decide to use this one, then just do the one, not use two things at the same time. If you use the one with electrolites in it then I would give that in the water for 1/2 the day and then switch to plain, fresh water for the 2nd half of the day.

Hi, my chickens have been pooping weird poops. Some look like they have blood in them, and the others are really runny. The chickens have also not been eating hardly and of their food which just started a couple days ago, they are also acting a little lethargic. They are Light and Buff Brahma hens I just got them this spring in April and starting laying about a little over a month ago. I have not had any problems with them before, although they sometimes just lay an egg sack but no shell which I though was pretty normal since they haven't been laying real long. I have some pictures of their poop below, any thoughts? Do they maybe need a probiotic? I had given them some apples from our apple tree could that have done something?

Hello, I can't say that your doing well but anyway your birds are having a disease called coccidiosis . according to the photos you have shared, why do I say that?. Signs of coccidiosis include; yellow Diarrhoea , light brown to dark brown droppings, blood stained then the last stage is seeing bloody droppings at this stage the bird is having very few chances to make it to be life, all the intestines are damaged, hunger due to lose of appetite, so the local medicine I can recommend to is to use charcoal, crush into smaller pieces put into drinking water and help to give those birds which are unable to drink for them selves, call your area vet to come and help you and drugs such as anti coccidial should be used thanks
