honorandkit Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 Just been out to shut the girls up for the night and there was a poo on the pop hole door. I could see it had blood in it - the same consistency as the poo itself. We've only had the chickens since the weekend - they came from an authorised agent for Black Rocks, and are between 8 and 13 weeks old. We're feeding them Farmgate growers pellets, some meal worms as treats and I've put out some grit for the first time today. Should I be worried? Obviously, I have no idea yet who's poo it was.

Jools Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 It's quite normal in growers, they shed a little gut lining every now an again (which looks a bit scary until you get used to it lol) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
honorandkit Posted June 15, 2010 Author Share Posted June 15, 2010 Thanks Jools. I know all about shedding your gut lining - I have Crohn's disease! The blood seems to have stopped for now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
