kittyl Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 My little hen had a streak of blood in her broody poop this morning. She seems otherwise well. When I take her out of the next each day she dustbaths, grooms, eats but never drinks, I havent seen her drink since she's been brooding. She always has water next to her but I dont think she touches it so I soak her corn & mealworms & give her bits of grape. Her poops are quite big & bulky - not cow pats like my last broody - I'm hoping this is why she passed the blood. Should I be worried?

Duncan08 Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 Has she been Wormed lately? Steaks could be worms, cant remember which ones though. Also try some probiotic yoghurt to sooth an irritated stomach. Other than that I'm stuck vet would be next move if it doesn't clear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kittyl Posted May 18, 2012 Author Share Posted May 18, 2012 Thanks for the reassurance. So far no sign of any more blood, hopefully it was a one off thing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
