4 month old roo poop- normal?

[babybop11]

Our little cockerel’s poop looks like this, it looks mousse-like, airy and light almost and this light brown/yellowish color. concerning? I looked at the chicken chick poop article but I can’t decide if it’s cecal or could be worms/infection. it’s also really hot so he’s drinking lots of water, but I noticed him kind of spit some up as well. Can that be normal if he drank abunch of water in the heat?

Looks cecal, to me. But getting a fecal float could help confirm or rule out any worries.

Drinking excess water due to heat may cause diarrhea but not usually regurgitation.. that *might* be indicative of a crop condition.. which sometimes the excess drinking is an attemt to clear.

Is he still actively eating also? Coming for treats, not just pretending as some do?

Consider getting a feel of his crop in the morning before he's accessed food and water to make sure it's emptying over night and not still hard/full or soft/doughy.. but just flat/empty..

Okay so it’s not cecal, it’s consistently been this yellow/orange color. I don’t know what to do?? @Wyorp Rock @Eggcessive any insight? He’s acting normally otherwise, he MIGHT be breathing a little funny but it’s also really hot

Then deworm him.

To treat most worms that poultry can have except for Tapeworm you can use Safeguard (Fenbendazole) or Valbazen (Albendazole). Both are given orally by weight; they do not mix well with water.

Safeguard dose is 0.23ml per pound of weight given orally once a day for 5 days in a row.
---OR---
Valbazen dose is 0.08ml per pound of weight given orally once, then repeated in 10 days

Here's how to give oral medications:
