New chicken mom here. I have 11 chickens from 2 breeders. They are 3-4 weeks old. Last week I treated for corid (precautionary afternoon I saw a bloody-looking poop). It has been 6 days since the treatment and I Saw this poop. Is this normal? Do I need to treat again?

First year crazy chicken lady here. Though I have learned a lot from working at a feed and farm store and growing up around farms. I still have a lot to learn. For instance: Somehow, my black Australorp got under one of my other girls while they were having a rather watter-y movement and is now...

Hey all, So one of our Easter Eggers has a frozen ball of poop on her feathers. It’s getting bigger and bigger and the weather here in Northern MN has been in the negatives the past couple days. We are thinking of bring her inside tonight to let the poop thaw out and hopefully fall off and...

If you don't have a compost pile, what can you do with the chicken poop you clean out from the coop?

I just saw this in one of my chicken’s poop and have no idea what it is!?! It looks like a mass of thin talons with a soft center. Does anyone have any idea what it could be?

This morning, I found 3-4 odd looking poops where the chickens roost. My first thought was worms, specifically large roundworm because of the size of the 'worms' in the poop. I added Wazine 17 to the waters for all birds but now realize the 'worms' may just be intestinal shedding. Based on the...

Hello! I’ve never had chickens before and I started off with 3 week old chicks. My flock is now 4 months old and some just started laying, I don’t even know which ones yet. One of my roosters is always trying to breed with 2 of my “top of the pecking order” hens. Today I noticed that...

So there were a couple giant poops in the run this morning, and I am suspecting they are broody poops from my chicken who takes her sweet time in the nesting box. There seemed to be blood in a poop, but it didn't really resemble what I've seen of coccidiosis online. None of my hens have any...

Help - I am new to raising chickens and one of my hens' poop was really yellow looking today. They did have a bit of fruit that I gave them - some mango & pineapple, I'm HOPING that's what it is from. I read a post with pictures of normal/abnormal poo's and I really couldn't decipher if mine was...

This is kind of a snarky question, but also a serious one... about chicken poop. Chickens poop. A lot. Anywhere and everywhere, right? At least mine do. I do not think they are sick, the poops look very healthy. My question is for all these pictures I see other members posting of their...

Just brought home 4 new chicks 2 days ago--we're now 4 days old :) I've been watching one really close (a Buff Brahma) since we brought her home because she seemed less active, more sleepy and isolated than the others. Today, another chick (a Buff Orphington) who had been very active the last...

I haven't been interacting on BYC like I intended when I joined. Instead, I search for answers to questions and seek out silent support for any chicken issues which may pop up. But as winter drags on, and my one-sided chicken conversations dangle on the edge of sanity, between reverence and...
