Cecal Poop or Coccidiosis

[BrandyMT]

Hello,

I am new to raising chickens. I got 4 hens just recently. I have 2 Welsommers and 2 Sapphire Gems. Hens are 19-20 weeks old. Can someone tell me if this looks like Cecal poop or Coccidiosis?

I clean the coop and run twice a day. I give fresh water every day. We do live in a very hot climate.

It's cecal poop.

Is that cedar shavings? You may want to change that out for pine shavings or sand, since the fumes can irritate chickens’ respiratory systems. Welcome to BYC.

Yes, they are Cedar. I put those down before I read that Pine would be better. I already have plans to change them out. Thank you!

Thank you! I thought the same but was so concerned over the other. I just want my little ones to be healthy. Appreciate the reply.

I changed out the bedding in the run today to pine. Appreciate your help!
