    Coccidiosis???

    How do you tell if chickens have coccidiosis? Pictures of coccidiosis poop would also be very helpful to compare to!! Also, if my chickens have it, can I transfer it through to our dogs? The dogs are indoor the chickens are not.

    POOP!!!!

    My chickens poop right now looks like watered down milk and I cannot figure out why! Another one of the hens in with them prolapsed yesterday. Could it just be a calcium deficiency because that can cause hens to prolapse too?
