Why Are My Broilers Pooping Blood ?

Good afternoon house, I bought some 4-week-old broilers yesterday and I noticed some of them are pooping blood already. Can someone recommend what I can give them before things get out of hand? (Replies: most likely coccidiosis, a parasitic intestinal disease common in young chickens - separate visibly sick birds, contact a poultry vet urgently for diagnosis and an appropriate anticoccidial at the correct dose (don't guess), keep the litter dry since coccidia multiply in contaminated bedding, and avoid random antibiotics which don't treat parasites.

Maxmine Nigeria Limited Is A Fraud

I want to bring this to people's attention so that others do not have a similar experience with Maxmine Nigeria Limited. Based on my personal experience, I have serious concerns about the company's activities. They claim to clean sorghum but all they do is buy the sorghum from farmers and load it in trucks to resell - their sorghum is filled with glume, weevil, sand and infestation.

My Rice Farm And Birds WAHALA

Honestly, I wasn't even prepared for this bird wahala on my Ofada rice farm. The birds dealt with my farm seriously - imagine 9 acres! They had already sucked out the "milk" before the rice could properly form; maybe the person I employed didn't have enough experience with Ofada farming.

When the Hausa guys came on Wednesday they said some of the rice already eaten by the birds was not worth harvesting.

Omo, it really pained me. Apart from catapults and making noise, are there other effective ways of scaring birds away? Scarecrows don't really work because the birds get used to them. Anyone with experience in rice farming, especially Ofada, please advise. (Replies suggest netting, drones and learning from experienced growers.)
