I have a 4 year old bsl that hasn't laid in months. She moulted just as the days shortened and I didn't worry. A while back I noticed her sneezing and sometimes having a line of drool but it was winter, the others were fine, and she was always at the waterer when I saw this. Spring is...
Hi there! We have two 4.5 week old ducklings that we just moved to a pen in our garage. Their diet is duck feed with yeast supplement added, grass, mealworms and grit. I went to clean their pen and noticed 2 poops that looked like cous cous. I couldn’t find any other threads with poop that looks...
Hello everyone!
I was doing my daily chick check today and I noticed one of my 5 week chicks sounded a bit different than normal. When she peeps, she almost sounds congested and I noticed a few sneezes as well. When she pooped, it looked pale yellow and foamy.
Does anyone know what might be...
Hello, I have a question about my 5 chickens who all seem to be having very watery poop and I can not figure out what the cause is. I am very worried about them and do not know what to do anymore. We have tried power drops, vitamin water, garlic, oregano, live yogurt and all sorts.
It all...
Hi. I know, another "is this poop normal?" thread. I've tried to find an answer myself, but I just can't decide. It would give me some peace of mind to hear others thoughts on the matter.

Is there a poop chart we can use for reference? I found two strange ones yesterday. Very big. Both like this. Don’t know who it belongs to since they all had clean bottoms. Everyone healthy and happy.

Morning all.
I have three 12 week old chickens who this morning are doing particularly rank smelling diarrhoea-y poops. Is this something chickens fed on a diet mainly of pellets but the occasional kitchen scrap/treat do? Or is it cause for concern? They are otherwise healthy but over the 12...

I have a chicken that is about 4 months old. It has never been real stealthy. It was outside with a couple others it's age and appeared to be doing ok. It would run out to me begging for food although it had chick crumbles, layer feed, mash and scratch. I never thought much of it. Then I noticed...
One of my girls seems to have a frequently poopy booty. She hasn’t had any health issues yet. Is this normal? Should I trim the feathers? Also newbie question, do you bathe chickens in winter? She is 8.5 months old, gold lace Wyandotte.
We inherited a coop when we bought our house. Coop has been abandoned for 5+ years, but is in good shape other than was dirty when we found it. I cleaned out everything loose, swept and scraped. Do I need to have this coop disinfected/sanitized? I'm afraid that if I do any more scraping I'll...
Hey guys I’m new to raising chickens and I currently have 4 barred rock hens all of which are 14 weeks old. I noticed a couple of days back that there was some diarrhea from one of my girls. There is no blood or anything like that just smells like very pungent poop. It looks like this and is...
One of my chicken's poops were oddly more white than normal starting yesterday. The above image is one from this morning and a dried one from last night. It might by nothing but just in case, I wanted to check if this could be some sort of disease or infection. Besides the poop, she seems her...
Do these look like normal cecal poops to you or abnormal poops?
Context: I have a 5-month-old Brahma pullet who has been sneezing for almost 2 months. The vet said she is sneezing due to over-grooming from poultry lice, so I've been treating my coop and all chickens for lice, but her sneezing...
