Abnormal poop

Three days is two days too many for me. And in a close-up I can see some odd stuff. Doesn't really look like worms, but it could be. Can you have a vet do a fecal test? If not, you might want to de-worm just in case.
Thank you!!! :bow
I don't know of anyone locally who would do a float test for me. Would it be safe to just treat them all for worms anyway? I'm not sure whose poop it is.
Also, what de-wormer do you recommend?

Thank you for the help!

You could de-worm conservatively with Wazine and see if that clears it up. If it doesn't, try Safeguard or Valbazen in a week. Wazine would be easiest because you just add it to their water, but it only treats large roundworms. The other de-wormers treat more worms, but they need to be given orally, and Safeguard has to be given several days in a row.

Does that help?
 
Update: I went the conservative route and tried treating the entire flock with Wazine 17 in their water. Immediately after treatment they pooped a lot of really scary looking stuff (kind of like the pictures but with way more red). After that things slowly improved. It is two weeks later now and everyone looks great! Poops are all back to normal and I have also noticed an increase in egg production :thumbsup Thanks to all who replied! Hope this info might help someone else in the future
