Watery white poop and bloody poop in chicken are caused by different diseases which ranges from

1. Coccidiosis

2. Salmolella

3. Worms

4. Gumboro

Coccidiosis is caused by a microscopic parasite called coccidia that is transmitted via the droppings from infected birds. In other words, anywhere there’s a microscopic trace of bird poop—in a waterer, a feeder, or in bedding—there’s almost certainly coccidia present.

Symptoms / Signs of coccidiosis include weight loss, paleness, ruffled feathers, depression, huddling, unwillingness to eat, and watery or bloody diarrhea. All birds are at risk, but growing birds and young adults ages 3 to 5 weeks old seem most susceptible.

The good news is that birds in relatively good health with strong immune systems are equipped to ward off coccidiosis, as long as they do not become stressed or overexposed to unsanitary conditions.

Bloody poop can appear as watery chicken poops without any solid, and sometimes with they normal solid grey matter. Bloody poop is characteristic of coccidiosis and the amount of blood depends on the severity of the condition. Usually, chickens with severe cases of coccidiosis will not have appetite to eat. This is because coccidiosis takes its toll on the intestine of its victim.

Let sunlight do some of the work. Coccidia hate sunlight.

Keep the premises as dry as possible. Coccidia love moisture.

Coccidiosis can be treated with coccidiosis based drug like Amprolium, embazinforte, etc

Or any other drug that is specifically for coccidiosis treatment.
