From the floor to a bag

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...
I clean my chickens coop once a week and while cleaning out the poop I noticed worms! 🤮 This is my first time dealing with this and I don’t know what kind they are. Someone please help! What are they and what do I do??

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...

New to chicken life, have had these girls for about 4 months they are nearly 18 weeks. Found this poop today when winterizing their coop. Not sure which chicken it is and didn’t find any other instances. No one seems sick and everyone’s eating well..
Could it be intestinal shedding or should I...
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...
I think my chickens ate glass! I haven’t ever seen this in my chickens poop before they’re about a year old and I recently just cleaned up my backyard from debris that included glass and possibly plexiglass and lots of plastic and right after cleaning up they started pooping little hard sea...
Hey there, so my chicken area smells, bad!
I read somewhere that you can put some sort of fly in the area that will eat their poop and that will help with odor. It really does smell. Someone help!
Hey everyone. My sweet Duchess seems to be ill, so this has been a rough time for me. What she has doesn’t appear to be contagious- (it’s likely ovarian infection) but I still fear my two other girls, Mary and Biscuit, could be at risk of getting something. I just wanted to run some pictures by...
