Hi,
I think my 6 month old speckled sussex has worms. She just started laying about two weeks ago, not sure if that is relevant.
Yesterday I noticed she did a foamy looking poop, I think it was a cecal poop because there was no white cap and it was soft looking. I didn't take a picture of it. It was like partly formed and partly foamy with tiny bubbles, it was a lighter more mustardy brown than the usual dark brown ones. Today she did another cecal poop (I think, again no white cap) that was not foamy and was more solid and clumpy looking. I decided to examine it since it seemed weird, and because i was worried about worms from her foamy poop yesterday. It looks like the poop has little stringy things in it which I suspect are worms, maybe I am imagining things but i thought i saw them.
I'm including a gross picture, sorry!
I'm not sure what to do. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. There are 3 other girls in the flock, I haven't noticed anything with them. Should I treat my speckled sussex, or all of the girls? Should I isolate her? Her behavior is totally normal.
Thanks so much
