Probably, but I'll never be sure, 'cause I treated her with Corid, Safeguard, metronidazole and Baytril.

my vet told me that green poop is bacterial but I am not sure if it can be something else as well.

I have a pullet with normal poop but she is skinny. she does not loose wait but not gain either. my flock has just got rid of fowl pox. what can I feed her to help her gain weight? she is kind of anorexic and picky about food.

It was probably a bacterial infection, but I have a history of blackhead and enteritis, so that's what I treat for.

You could try feeding her some turkey or gamebird starter, that should help. Or tube feed her.

thanks. I will look for turkey starter (if there is at all) as the others are not available here. there has been shortage of feed as people cannot afford to pay. chicken starter has 14,7% protein only! I found a 18% crumbles but I must go to the mainland for that. I supplement my chickens with boiled eggs for proteins.

Eggs are not very high in protein. You could try adding a little dry cat food, that's usually 30%.

thanks, I have that as I am feeding cats. I want them around to catch bloody mice.

I have just found a pic of poop like this in a greek site and it says possible infection by bacteria, parasites or fungus.

Cecal poop vs regular poop


These are overnight poops from a 7 year old rooster that appears to be quite healthy. On the left is a normal cecal poop, on the right are pretty normal regular poops, though one pile has a little spec of red.


This is the same poop moved to a paper towel. regular poop on top, cecal on bottom.


Same poop again. Notice the creamy texture of the cecal poop compared to the regular poop. Interestingly, I think maybe I can see a cecal worm in this picture. Will go back and see if I can verify.

are those minute worms in chicken poop? they are my nightmare. I worm my chickens, they expel dead worms and a few days later I find more. I worm them again and they come back again.

Cecal worms are very small... How big are the worms you keep seeing?

they are minute tape worms. I find them in normal poops, usually coming out. they are like little balls, usually3-4+ mm and they have trunks.

not the best pic, I hope you can see them


these were dead. expelled after garlic, cayenne pepper and black pepper mixed in feed. but still many alive left.

there is a piece of wood bedding bottom left, not round worm.
