So my flock of 7 is 18 months old now, and over the last year or so I've had many a panic episode due to intermittent weird poops, almost always in the morning. I'd done de-worming, treated for cocci, and added supplements like probiotics or ACV to their water, but I still get some weird poops...
My 3 year old rooster is hardly eating his bird food, ate spam and half a hot dog, wont eat grass anymore, and does drink. His poop keeps changing but mainly is green yellow white or brown. Sometimes all of the above. I have him separated and noticed he went to crow but no sound came out. I...
My rooster pooped this today and I’m not sure what’s up. He eats stuff in the yard but is also on the same layer feed as the girls. I read that it could be just the intestinal lining but I’m not sure.
My chickens just went through one round of roundworm medication a week and a half ago. I've noticed they have consistently been pooping white cloudy poop that outlines their dark poop + they have diarrhea often, but that might be because of the fruits we've been feeding them lately because of...
One of my chicks pooped this last night. I have no idea if this is a bunch of worms or intestinal shedding. There was no blood and it wasn’t moving...I rinsed the sand off just to have a better look. What do you think? Do I need to treat for worms?
edit: they are all acting normal, eating and...
We Live in Las Vegas. Our predator threats are cats, rats and coyotes. The most important aspect of coop construction is to protect the hens from the heat(commonly over 110 in the summer).
Coop dimensions are 5' by 4' by 4' high.
Run dimensions are 5' by 16' by 6' high.
To protect against...
Hi everyone,
My sweet hen Penny has an ongoing sour crop but recently started having unusual poops. I was very worried about her because she wasn’t preening, eating or drinking water and her crop was really bloated. She ended up having a very unusual poop (see pictures). I have never seen...
Hey there, my 6-7 month old hen is exhibiting some unusual-for-her symptoms. She has not left the coop all day and has just been sitting on the roosting bar in and out of sleep. She will eat oatmeal from my hand and is still her fussy self but it’s very strange for her not to come outside and...
Hello, I have one or more chickens (I’m not sure which one or ones are doing it) that are pooping bright yellow poop. I keep a pretty close eye on my flock and haven’t noticed any of them acting listless or otherwise unhealthy, but it seemed strange to me, because they didn’t have poop like that...
13 weeks old I pretty sure was my Roo, found this in coop this morning should I go ahead and treat for coccidiosis or intestinal shedding or is it possibly tomato ??
We recently got three new chicks, a Rhode Island Red, Golden Comet, and a Light Brahama. Our light brahma has had poop stuck on his down feathers below his vent which I can see opening and closing when I touch it, should I try and clean that poop off or can I just leave him. I assume they get...
I have a female Golden Manchurian Coturnix Quail who is not walking and laying on her back. First then she got stuck in the cloth wire on my cage a few hours ago. She had a big poop/dirt clump on her right foot and after I freed her she seemed to be walking around fine. But now when I went out...
I've just got a new hen for my flock(lavender araucana), the previous owner said she's just started to moult...
I've got home and upon further inspection ( hope this makes sense) the strands coming out of the feather root/ centre thing are very short ( on her back) also she has quite watery...
I recently noticed droppings with shed intestinal lining in them (pinkish strands that look like raw meat). My 7 hens are about 15 months old and have never been wormed. They are eating and drinking normally, and otherwise their droppings look good. I haven't found the culprit of the couple...
I have a 4 fully grown quail, 3 hens, and a rooster. Their droppings usually never smelled that bad however recently it's been unbearable to the point I have no choice but to fully clean and disinfect their cage every day. I have been feeding them manna pro gamebird feed all their life, water...
One of my coturnix quail dropped dead out of nowhere- perfect health, she was old, except I noticed green poop around the pen. The urate is green, I think, not the poop itself. Should I be worried about my other quail? What could cause this?
My chick is only a day old and she has curly toes. we put a boot on her but she walks on her legs and not her feet. She's not eating and cant really stand up properly. She is pooping but hasn't ate. PLEASE HELP me I've already lost a couple chicks and can't loose another. She had trouble...
We have a six week old wood duckling who never seemed to have a problem eating food dry. Suddenly we’ve noticed that starting this afternoon he’s not eating from his dish at all like he normally does and will only eat feed from in his water dish so it’s fully soft to the point of falling apart...
Hi all,
I have a 2-year-old Partridge Olive Egger named Jennie who has recently been re-introduced to our other two hens following an injury from our rooster that she had to recover from. Today when I was holding her I realized that she was leaking a clear, odorless fluid from her vent. It...
My 19 weeks old hybrid hen poop watery! Is it normal? Beside pooping and puking, she seem fine and healthy. She eat, drink, lay an egg and walk around just like every normal hen does. Also, she use to puke water too.
Ps. I live in the hot climate and the other hen that live with her seem fine...
