poo butt

Is this more that just dirty butt or is she contracted something else? She pretty much acts normal. Been going on for several months now.

It's been about 30hrs since I noticed my hen is not eating, only drinking more water than usual. She is lethargic, not dust bathing but she is still moving around just not much. She falls asleep during the day and she has a yellow runny poo with green through it but no smell. We have red mites...

Hello! My sweet hen Juniper has recently started having super watery poos and diarrhea like this (her whole butt is a mess) I've looked online but haven't been able to pinpoint what is going on here... She's eating and drinking, moving around, she stopped laying recently because temps are...

Hi there. I've written about my 4.5 year old California White (Dolly) having a re-occurring bumblefoot problem (that is still on-going) and I now believe she may also have worms. Symptoms are described below: 1. Flopped over comb and pale-ish face (see comparison photo). Her comb started to...

Problem: I have a 2yr old layer hen that has recently developed a very poo (and dirt from dirt bathing) covered area below her vent. Today I noticed when she was trying to poo, they looked normal, but very small amounts coming out and sometimes runny - compounding her dirtiness. She also was not...

Hi, I treated our girls for worms on Tuesday - it is Thursday. what can i expect to see, and when will pooey bums clear up? One of pur girls was doing diarrhoea that was caramel brown, now it has gone dark but the white part is all stringy, not a clump (see pics) When will the worms be gone...

i need help!!!! I have 2 free roaming chickens that live together which are about 2.5-3 years old. They are Rhode Island Reds. Part of the backyard is near a wooded area/forest. The smaller of the sisters all of a sudden started staying in her coop and will not eat or stand! She seems very weak...

Hey everyone, This is my first post on here and I am completely new to chicken keeping although I've had my hens for a few months now. I have 5 Buff Orpingtons, three reds and two black and there's one that has had a problem with her stools since the beginning. I have been trying to get her...

This is Georgie she is 4.5 year old LF Cochin. She is lovely UNTIL she walks away. I use fermented feed and have dry layer pellets in the coop. She is used to baths and having her feathers clipped I have bathed her twice since April but it seems the more feathers I trim the more get...

Hi, I think my Orpington is poorly. She's had runny poo for about a week now (mainly light brown in colour) and has now started sneezing. She's lost weight and I don't think she's eating much of the layers pellets as her ceop is still feeling quite soft at the end of the day. She's definitely...

Hi I have two chickens, Who started moulting August last year so they stopped laying eggs. This took a while but they have finished now and they still haven’t started laying again. They have access to food, water, oyster shells and grit. Also one of them has had a dirty and poopyrear feathers...

A bunch of my chickens have poopy butts and I was just wondering what some possible causes were. I only just recently noticed it, like within the past week or two. They are all acting perfectly fine and eating, drinking, etc., nothing unusual. They stopped laying for a while for fall/winter and...

Question - I have one very large Easter Egger hen that I end up having to wash her back end just about weekly due to the build up of stool. I have her feathers trimmed to the point where it looks like she encountered a lawnmower. She is not sick and the stool is normal I think just because she...

My bared rock has always seemed to have a poopy butt, way more so than the other chickens, but my chickens do co- exist with our dogs when they free range our entire yard, once a day right now as there are more shady spots that way in the heat of the day. The dogs (one especially) has been known...
