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.
Hello BYC'ers,
I have asked questions in the past, but never posted about something I learned. Anyways, I'll get straight to the point. I have discovered one of the most game-changing products for chickens, horses, and really any small animal.
Pelletized shavings.
I have had my first flock...
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 three RIR’s that are 8 months old and one has been have loose black wet looking poops. Just wondering if this is normal? First time chicken owner.
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...
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...
