julusc Posted August 6, 2010 Share Posted August 6, 2010 Hi My 6 weeks old ancona has foamy blood in her poo, could this be cocci? It seems fine otherwise, any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwing Posted August 6, 2010 Share Posted August 6, 2010 yes it will be cocci, get hold of some medicated chick crumb or Coxoid asap Hours not days count here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bevmatt Posted August 7, 2010 Share Posted August 7, 2010 Would definately agree with above... don't give both though thinking you are doing a favour apparently one counter effects the other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craftyhunnypie Posted August 8, 2010 Share Posted August 8, 2010 I know a lot of people here don't agree with medicated chick crumb. I personally have always used it - touch wood no cocci. Act quick - as Redwing says! Good luck! Emma.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jools Posted August 8, 2010 Share Posted August 8, 2010 Same here and mine stay on medicated growers to 16wks too. This year I'm having to take extra precautions as it's been so wet and the floor of my chick/grower pen keeps getting wet. I'm changing the litter every couple of days and using masses of Stalosan, but it seems to be working ...... so far! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
