Coccidiosis

As well as the ducks, we also added to our flock of Light Sussex hens .

But some are not well.One has died.
the other affected ones are lethargic, pale and with blood in the droppings.

It may be Coccidiosis . The gory details are here .
So we have separated the affected birds.
Risk factors are damp environments. And Orkney has been very very damp so far this year.
And at the moment we will wait and see.
