Abnormal chicken poop

[Ayu]

I was checking my chickens today and getting ready to clean out the coop and I find strange poop , its the second time I've found something like this in a week. This time it looks worse. Tbis is my first flock and chickens are all acting normal so I'm at a loss. Thanks for any help !

Make sure it’s not coccidosis. I’m dealing with that right now. Diareah and blood in it when it’s gets to a severe out break. If it is that treat with Corrid powder 1 1/2 teaspoons per a gallon of water for 5 days and the a maintenance water of 1/2 teaspoon of powder a gallon fresh every day.

Unless you see a ton of this, I'd not worry much.
What all and how exactly are you feeding?

Oh, and.... Welcome to BYC! @Ayu
Where in this world are you located?
Climate, and time of year, is almost always a factor.
Please add your general geographical location to your profile.
It's easy to do, and then it's always there!

I added my location lol .

Well they eat their normal food but have small tomatoes, corn , lettuce, cabbage, cut up grass, this seed scratch with dried meal worms i got at tractor supply and when I let them out they go and eat whatever they find digging around in the flower garden and in the field . I think I spoil them lol

Oh whoa that sucks I hope your chickens will be ok . I was looking that up but I'm not sure they have it or whoever made that poo lol but that was my first thought but when I looked it up I didn't see any of the symptoms. I don't see any blood and they all are acting pretty normal though.

Hello Ayu, welcome to BYC!

Sometimes chickens have a kind of diarrhoea from food. Mine always have if they eat too many grapes. Best not to give them extra’s for a few days imo.

If you want to be sure of any parasites/illnesses you can take some poop to a vet, to examine it. I would never give medicines not knowing what is wrong. Supplements like garlic and apple cider vinegar can be helpful.

Cut all the extras out.
What is their regular feed, protein and calcium percentages?
