Half of my chickens poop is very light and loose compared to the rest. I thought I noticed blood last week so I’d been treating them for coccidiosis, it’s been 7 days now. The weather has been very up and down and raining every few days. I noticed one of my chickens standing hunched up. Maybe...
Hey all, long story short, my girl Hennifer Eggiston (Croad Langshan) is a house hen after a family of bears wrecked my coop.
I’m noticing that she is having very large and watery poops. I’ve not seen this type of poop from my chickens before.
Does this look normal? It is not hot (16-20c)...

Hi all - I just de-wormed my chickens using safeguard 3ml to a 1 gallon water and changed it daily. I did this for 3 days and repeated on day 10 to kill any remaining young worms. The withdrawal period just ended and I noticed tiny worms in one of my hens poops again. What should I do? Should I...

My chicken pooped a big ball of normal poop but it had many clear off white crystal objects in it? Puts me in the mind of driveway salt but they're so hard I can't break them they won't melt. Anyone ever have this happen?
My 21 week lavendar Ameraucana rooster has really loose kind of explosive poop! The other hens seem fine, just my roo. Is this just a he’s not eating grit issue, or does it look like something else? Feed is the same, but we have given sunflowers more lately because they’re growing in our garden...
I wasn't able to take a picture. It's to dark at the moment. But my chicken, Liam - She looked like she was having constipation and when I went back out I found something that concerned me.
It was a big gooey mess that looked to be the white clear part of an egg (no yellow yolk) around a brown...
I have four hens all around 6 1/2 months old. They are all laying eggs completely normally and eating fine. It seems like out of nowhere my hens developed really dirty butts. What could be causing this? And how can I treat it?
Hello All -
One of my Americuana’s has a bit of a runny vent and recently has an orangish poo (picture below). I read that it is most likely food or her intestine lining shedding - which seems both are ok.
I was just hoping to get a gage from the pros of this is “normal.” Thank you!
She is...

I don't know which got it first, but the vet has confirmed and issued treatment for Giardia in the dog, and based on stool observations at least one of my 3 hens has it too (who are all currently being treated with metronidazole and a probiotic supplement). All 4 animals are forced to share...
We have had our three girls since April with absolutely no issues. Then bam all of a sudden we are smelling this horrible pungent fish smell. We use Construction grade sand in our run with DE and Lime and I’ve been scooping it often. It’s the dead of summer here and I’m in NC where the humidity...
