I have 36 hens now of various ages and the second group is pooping some not so pretty things. I am not sure what it is. I was hoping someone could tell me please!??
One of my 2mo. old pullets is having runny poops pretty consistently and acting more sheepish than usual. She used to be the one that liked being held the most but over the last week or so is the last to come up to me. Does this poop look normal?
So, my sister lives in a small Florida suburb that allows backyard chickens, and she and her husband are considering keeping two or three. She's not sure about which breed, yet, but they want to keep them for eggs and fertilizer.
The house in question has an unusual structure, specifically...
We picked up 8 chicks from TSC on Wednesday. Yesterday they started with loud chirping and some watery stools. Attached is a picture of some of their stools underneath the brooder plate. Any suggestions? They all seem to be eating and drinking well and are very active birds.
Nearly two weeks old, she has had a slightly sour smell from her mouth for about a week now. We haven’t figured it out until now but it started a couple of days ago, when she tries to poop it takes her a while and her wings hand a bit, when she pushes she chirps like the strain hurts, although...
Hey guys it's me back with ANOTHER issue with the SAME hen. A couple of weeks ago she had an egg break inside her no shell just a little fluid. Went to the vet, got her some meds. Started doing well the 5 days ago stopped eating and drinking on her own. Yes, I didn't the whole egg binding check...
I have 6 chicks. 3 are approximately 3 weeks old and 3 are approximately 2 weeks old. Atleast one of them has had foul smelling chocolate brown runny poops. Any advice on what could be causing this?
Hi all,
I have 5 chicks, 12 days old today. 3 are thriving. One had pasty butt and has been straining to poop. I’m worried it might be a prolapsed vent but she is still hanging in there. I’ve done 2 soaks and have moved to preparation h to help with swollen vent. It’s been 3 days and you can...
My girls love the patio but pooping on the couch is not good behavior. How to stop the girls from either using the patio - or pooping on it?
Can i teach them to poop somewhere else?

I noticed a fairly large runny poop this morning. Not sure which one of my chickens is responsible, but they’re all acting normal with no other signs of distress. Any suggestions on what may have caused this is appreciated!
Hello, so my backyard is shared by my 2 chickens and 2 dogs. My concern is, will the eggs be safe to eat if the chickens spend their time pecking in grassy areas where the dogs also poop?
She’s been eating tomatoes and eggs for awhile now, but the color of her poop seems to be getting slightly darker? I think.
Is poop like this normal for other ducks after they eat tomatoes and eggs too? Is this logically healthy or is this a warning of some kind?
Thank you!
I’ve stepped in it under my chair. My husband picked up what he thought was cardboard… nope, chicken poop. She lets it roam the house, no diaper, and although she tries to clean it up immediately, she often doesn’t. I had to ask her to pick up a big old dried up chicken poop on her carpet where...
Hi, so for the past day and a half one of 3 chicks is pooping these light poops? I have two adult hens and never seen this poop, it looks pretty close to the color of their feed. Heres pics of the small beige one next to a normal poop. No sickly symptoms, is eating and drinking normally, i just...
So, I have the bourbon red, her name is Philbert. I’ve been worried about her recently because her stool has been far from normal. Usually it’s pretty well. Poopy, not too solid or liquid. The photos with e blood in them I realized was intestinal lining haha.
Should I be concerned? It’s only a little bit and looks like it just got stuck when she pooped but I did get them from rural king and I have been seeing a lot of people having issues. Mine have been completely healthy since I got them three days ago. I was able to just wipe it off with a paper...
Hey guys! About a week ago a hen of mine pooped a solid/hard yellow nugget which through the napkin felt like rubber. Today she pooped again and had the same rubber like remnants. I’ve attached both images below. I have no idea what this is and can’t find anything similar online.
She’s a 2 year...
Hello,
I recently started raising chickens. I have 8 that are about 3 weeks old and I got them at about 3/4 days of age from a local chicken farm. They have remained in my garage in a large brooder since I brought them home and have not been exposed to any other animals. They have 2 water...
