i only saw this one abnormal dropping so i just kept an eye out but everyone was active and eating/drinking well. 1 of the 5 is a bit smaller than the rest and hasn’t featured out as much but since they’re EEs i wasn’t sure if it’s from the mixed breed or what. last night the tiny one was drinking a lot of water for a few minutes and didn’t have diarrhea but watery poop, rather. it was in the 80s. everything else seemed fine besides that though.
just went out there this morning and found this dropping.

i’m not sure who it came from and i’m not sure what age they can even have intentional intestinal shed from so i’m not sure if it’s just that or someone has coccidiosis. they’re on medicated feed and in the big kids coop with wire separating them. i have corid on hand but am not sure if this is cause for treating them or just a normal thing.

the grey one is the tiny one i’ve got my eye on.

I'd treat them for Coccidiosis.
