Another fecal question

[Dishens]

R Hi everyone. I treated for coccidia and that went well. I now have one producing a caramel colored liquid sometimes only liquid, sometimes with solid fecal matter. I attached a couple of pictures. No blood is in the stool. What now?

I'm no expert despite examining poop every day but that looks okay to me.
There are urates showing and what could be cecal excretion. A bit unusual to have both mixed together, normally with the chickens here at least the cecal poop gets ejected on it's own.
Unless there are other signs of ill health I would be good with that. I would keep an eye on her and her poop for a few days. It's very difficult to judge poop by eye for subtle changes, especially if your chickens free range, or have kitchen scraps as treats.
I worry if I see worms, excessive intestinal shed, bright green or bright yellow poop. I also keep an eye out for watery poop spread over a day. It's not uncommon to get one,or two when it's been hot, but continuous is concerning.

This has been over a few days. As I said, there are some that are entirely liquid. Could it be the feed? The others are fine.

Have to agree for now I would watch what are you feeding please

All liquid all the time isn't good.
Do you know which birds have the liquid poops?
Are they acting 'ill' in other ways?

Describe in detail the treatment you did.

What all and how exactly are you feeding?

 

[Dishens]

I have ruled out all but three birds. For coccidia I dosed 2 teaspoon Corid in one gallon of water for 6 days. Then followed with 1/2 teaspoon for 5 days. I gave nutri- drench for 2 days. They are eating fermented New Country Organics and Nutrena organic starter/ grower. They are between 10 - 16 weeks old. They forage in 3 large pen areas also.

They will normally have a few liquid poops a day, look up "cecal poop" and you'll see. Looks fairly normal to me, as long as it's not the majority.

Yes, cecals can be rather pudding like and/or foamy. Not what I'd call 'liquid' tho.

Are you feeding anything other than the fermented feed?

Might be good to crate them overnight to get an accurate poop sample.
This works good for me:

Corid sounds right, without being terribly familiar.
When was the ND given?....after Corid was all done?
...and how long since no treatments?


Good visual references for all kinds of poops,
just don't jump to any terrible conclusions too quickly:
