I'd treat them all for cocci right away. If one has it they all should be treated. Coccci can kill quickly Albon-sulfadimethoxine is a great med and gentler on kidneys than Sulmet. Chicks can be damaged by cocci and never thrive if it is let go after symptoms appear. Sometimes they have all the other symptoms but not blood until it is too late. Medicated feed only helps prevent. Please do me a favor and put them on nonmedicated feed until they are done with which ever med you can find today,. OK? Please? Measure the med carefully and follow the directions to the T. I don't want to hear about you having a broken heart over your babies. Cathryn

Deanna - I put a pic of each up in the photos. They are so fun!
One of them, I think Rontaco aka Ronnie, has a little bit of blood in her poo. I put her in her own bin to try and figure out if she's the culprit. It's between her and Lupe. I was holding Maria when I noticed a new splotch in the bin.
The lady I got them from said she didn't use medicated feed, do you think that could be the issue? I did purchase medicated feed and am hoping that will clear up any problem.
Everyone is happy, eating, playing, and snoozing, so I think they're okay, but I'm feeling like a nervous new mom!
