Tavuk Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 Hi, I have two chickens in my back garden. One of them had a diarria-yellowish dropping with mucus like red blood. It has been like that 3-4 days. Also her back side looks open and feather more fluffy than normal. I don't know what to do or what could be the problem. I clean the coop every morning only one or two dropping like that. Please help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plum Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 Blood in droppings is sign of coccidia. You can buy coxoid from poultry shops but I believe it's important to start the treatment early. Alternatively your vet will be able to supply an appropriate drug. First I would have a look at her vent and just check the blood isn't coming from a prolapse or pecked vent They can get dehydrated fairly quickly and go off food. Is she eating and drinking ok?

Tavuk Posted February 7, 2012 Author Share Posted February 7, 2012 Hi Plum, Thank you for your message. I looked at "add dropping" section in this forum and her droping it is maching with "shed intestinal lining in the dropping"picture. She seemed fine today. B efore I left to work I was cleaning the coop she jumped into lay an egg. She is fine with eating and drinking. There is no blood anywhere else. It is worrying , I will still keep an eye on her. Thanks again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
