nanarock Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 I have noticed from when I purchased my chickens 6 weeks ago one of them is doing what looks like an occasional blood stained poo. I dont know which one it is but have watched them all poo and only witnessed normal looking ones. should I be concerned. I have just three chickens they all are feeding well and seem healthy. One has not started laying yet, but the other two only started last week so I have assumed she is a late starter.The lady I bought them off wormed them the day I bought them. Should I contact her in case there is some sort of infection in her flock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mollie333 Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 Hi, Is it definitely blood? It could be something they've eaten - it does happen. Is there any blood on egg shells? a hen coming into lay can cause small ruptures. Apparently It is normal for hens to shed a bit of the lining of their intestines and stuff in their poo,it's usually a red bit in an healthy poo, no diarrhea or watery poo. It could be coccidiosis, but doesn't sound like it, if she is behaving normally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chucky Mama Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 I would check what she 'wormed' them with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
