    Is this poop bloody or normal?

    Hello all! I noticed this poop in the run today. Only one from what I could tell. All the girls seems healthy - they did just recover from a respiratory illness 1-2 weeks ago, and our big rooster has been closing his eyes frequently since - otherwise, all seem fine. I know you can’t tell...

    Weird chicken behavior with jerking neck and clucking.. unsure if she is sick? (Video attached)

    Things turned right around with some VetRx in their water! Our rooster, who had the worst gurgly breathing, stopped it almost instantly with the VetRx. He is still walking around with his eyes closed frequently, which is concerning to us, but otherwise everyone is doing great. Thanks for all...

    Good to know!!! Thank you! I was banking on this sort of a thing, until we started hearing breath gurgling / rattling in almost all of our original flock (worse in our 2 roosters). I even could hear our big rooster gurgling from outside the coop last night. Bella has stopped doing the weird...

    Thank you so much! I am taking this advice and just monitoring, especially as things are much more subdued tonight. Waiting to hear back from the vet and I’ll keep you all updated if they can diagnose Bella’s movements

    Update! I got home from work and spent some time with the girls today (Monday). Bella has SIGNIFICANTLY improved, and has done the motion and cluck just a handful of times in the 30 minutes I’ve been down here. It definitely seems to worsen under stress (new girls pecking at her). I have noticed...

    I read on another post that this can happen to chickens as a result of stress.. that it can be a “minor flare up of vaccinations” if you will. She has only been vaccinated against Mareks, to my knowledge. Any input on this? I also had someone suggest that it could be behavioral. Thoughts on that?

    For all chickens, or isolate and give them just to Bella?

    Thank you for your input! No discharge. Poops overall look normal but they are runny (it has been hot and she has been stressed).

    Our young hen had a sudden onset of aggressive neck movements and loud clucking. She is usually fairly quiet. Video will be attached for reference, and back story is below: We had 6 pullets, all of unknown breeds/ages, but none are egg-laying (2 are roosters). They have been living together in...
