I put feeders in their coop with food 24x7 but they jump on top of the feeder and poop in it. And when the poop goes in their food they don't eat it anymore. A lot of their food is going to waste and I have to wash their food and water feeders every single day. They only eat some of their food...
I posted earlier about my 1 year old hen acting off. I am following up on her poops to see if it appears things are returning back to a healthier state. These are the last 2 poops she has had.... the one in the grass was the last one. She seems to be acting better but wasn’t sure if the poop...
Please HELP......Flower is a 1 year old Lavender Orphington. I acquired her a little over a week ago. She has been good since arrival but noted yesterday she was acting lethargic. She was sleeping under the coop even when I tossed out their garden grains and meal worms. I was able to rouse her...
Hello all, could someone please help me... I’m not sure if this is cecal poop or if my littles may need some meds
edited to add the chicks are about 2 months, he’s a roo & acting normal. I have these 2 inside away from our 3 bigger chicks because the female had an incident with our dog a few...
I have a one year old Black Copper Marans hen who has been acting "off" for a few weeks, with signs of improvement and then regresses a bit. She's shown all these symptoms separately - puffed up, listless, separating from the flock, roosting way earlier than necessary, head flipping (like she's...

Bantam hen, older (9-10+ years old)
About a week & a half ago I noticed one of my older hens was having some trouble breathing, but figured it was because of a high pollen count here, humidity, and the change in weather…or that it was just old age related and that she would be...
Hi everyone,
I have a 15 week old bluebell that has just done a strange kind of poop.
she looks really well & she’s eating, drinking well & seems happy/lively enough.
Does anyone have any idea if this looks normal or an indication of something to worry about?...
It‘s not pretty, I do...
Hi! I am new to chickens, and got six chicks on Thursday, they were born Tuesday. I've been worried about one of the Barred Rock chicks since soon after moving them into their brooder. On her first day here, she seemed really lethargic, ruffled feathers and kind of out of it. At first, she kept...
My 10 year old blue andalusian has been having messy poops that stick to the feathers easily. You can hear it come out and it's one big moist pile. Sorry TMI Lol
I was feeding her scratch and peck grower feed for a while and am now feeding her purina flock raiser maybe a month. Even if I put...
My 3 week old chick has had another questionable poop. Is this just a strange cecal poop? Would it hurt to treat for coccidiosis without an official diagnosis? The chick is acting healthy (eating, drinking, running around). Should I be worried.
I’m very new to raising ducks and i can’t find much about duck poop and i just wanted to make sure it’s normal, i have a suspicion that it might be salmonella because it sounds very diarrhea like and i’m worried! they are only about a week old
Hey everyone.
So, I have a hen called Snowy who was rescued froma chicken shop. She has a number of issues (blind in one eye, one foot has turned outwards and the joint is limp-ish and very watery poop with undigested seeds) that I've been trying to help her out with.
Recently, she started...
Hi there my 1 year old hen has started getting a little bit of a poopy but the last few days and today i checked and she has this sticking out of her vent. It is hard and almost looks like maybe a malformed egg? I put some gloves on and tried to see what was going on and it seems to be stuck...
We must have one of the most expensive hens on the forum, but she is much loved!
We noticed a couple of weeks ago that she had odd poop - very bright green and watery. She hadn’t laid for several months and is approx 4 years old. We have learned, sadly from experience, never to leave this and...
I have a bantam that has just recently started flying up to our hands and seems to want to be handled. However, this afternoon, it seems to be under the heat plate more and has runny droppings/diarrhea. It also doesn't seem to be eating as much as usual or I haven't caught it when I've checked...
Well, not quite a Bristol chart, but as close as I have found. It hasn’t captured every fecal variation, but it has a lot of good information. Maybe we can build on this and have a “Visual Poo Clearinghouse” for normal and abnormal poop to aid in our hen care...
is this intestinal shed or coccidiosis? The hen in question is still eating, energetic, and doesn't seem sick. This is her second poop like this today, both times with a minimal amount of blood/red stuff.
Hi guys,
I've browsed numerous posts here and I still don't know what's wrong with my chicken
So she is 3years old, and Tuesday we had a storm the roof blew off the coop and I went out to put a brick on it and noticed only 2 out of 3 chickens were in the coop.
The 3rd was under the coop (raised...
