poop

Hello, everyone! I've spent far too long reading posts on here trying to figure out what's wrong with my hen, so I decided to post and get advice for my specific situation. My Dominique hen yesterday started exhibiting lethargy; she was standing around away from the flock. She didn't seem super...

Hi! I need some help figuring out how to support my sweet girl. Friday night, when we went to put our girls up for bed, Florence was laying in the coop, and did not get up to greet us like normal. Upon further encouragement, she didn’t get up either. 2 hours earlier she was just fine and...

I have 7 Rainbow Rangers on order from Meyer Hatchery for September. My question is how much space do they require per bird when free-ranging in order for it to not get too poopy? And, how much do they poop compared to CX? I think my plan is to brood them for the first 2-3 weeks. Then do 2-3...

I just got two easter egger chicks and they are two days old today. I noticed that one has some blood in her poop. Does anyone know what it could be? Is it coccidiosis? Could they just be some weird poops because she's so young? She hasn't really been eating yet and her sister has normal poop...

I’ve noticed this while watching her, but sometimes she seems to have a hard time pooping. She’ll poop about half of it then stop for some seconds and poop the other half out after. Please help, any help would be greatly appreciated. Is it serious? -She’s a Pekin duck -She is a year and a half...

I’ve been looking at it for awhile now, but I can’t really tell. I don’t believe there is any, but there seemed to be some earlier, so I want to make sure just in case. Any help is appreciated! -She is one and a half years old -She is a Pekin duck -She’s only been eating Manna pro duck feed...

I have 3 buff Orpington and 4 silkies. They are seven weeks old. They have only been inside and not transitioned outside to their coop yet due to the heat wave of 100°+ for a week. They eat non-medicated starter feed, their indoor “coop” has large pine shaving & they have fresh water and food...

I have 36 hens now of various ages and the second group is pooping some not so pretty things. I am not sure what it is. I was hoping someone could tell me please!??

One of my 2mo. old pullets is having runny poops pretty consistently and acting more sheepish than usual. She used to be the one that liked being held the most but over the last week or so is the last to come up to me. Does this poop look normal?

So, my sister lives in a small Florida suburb that allows backyard chickens, and she and her husband are considering keeping two or three. She's not sure about which breed, yet, but they want to keep them for eggs and fertilizer. The house in question has an unusual structure, specifically...

We picked up 8 chicks from TSC on Wednesday. Yesterday they started with loud chirping and some watery stools. Attached is a picture of some of their stools underneath the brooder plate. Any suggestions? They all seem to be eating and drinking well and are very active birds.

Nearly two weeks old, she has had a slightly sour smell from her mouth for about a week now. We haven’t figured it out until now but it started a couple of days ago, when she tries to poop it takes her a while and her wings hand a bit, when she pushes she chirps like the strain hurts, although...

Hey guys it's me back with ANOTHER issue with the SAME hen. A couple of weeks ago she had an egg break inside her no shell just a little fluid. Went to the vet, got her some meds. Started doing well the 5 days ago stopped eating and drinking on her own. Yes, I didn't the whole egg binding check...

I have 6 chicks. 3 are approximately 3 weeks old and 3 are approximately 2 weeks old. Atleast one of them has had foul smelling chocolate brown runny poops. Any advice on what could be causing this?

Hi all, I have 5 chicks, 12 days old today. 3 are thriving. One had pasty butt and has been straining to poop. I’m worried it might be a prolapsed vent but she is still hanging in there. I’ve done 2 soaks and have moved to preparation h to help with swollen vent. It’s been 3 days and you can...

My girls love the patio but pooping on the couch is not good behavior. How to stop the girls from either using the patio - or pooping on it? Can i teach them to poop somewhere else?

Need some help..here’s the details on the chicken in question. 2 year old lavender Orpington Hasn’t been laying Very lethargic White stringy poop (doesn’t look like worms but not sure 100%) Eats/drinks very little Giving nutri-drench and electrolytes Eats some apples, blueberries Very...

I noticed a fairly large runny poop this morning. Not sure which one of my chickens is responsible, but they’re all acting normal with no other signs of distress. Any suggestions on what may have caused this is appreciated!

Hello, so my backyard is shared by my 2 chickens and 2 dogs. My concern is, will the eggs be safe to eat if the chickens spend their time pecking in grassy areas where the dogs also poop?

She’s been eating tomatoes and eggs for awhile now, but the color of her poop seems to be getting slightly darker? I think. Is poop like this normal for other ducks after they eat tomatoes and eggs too? Is this logically healthy or is this a warning of some kind? Thank you!
