Chicken Poop

[Shortperson2002]

Sorry for the chicken poo picture.
Help! I just opened the coop (they have been on lock down since about 5 pm yesterday) and found this. Ive been trying to figure out what type of poop it is and how to treat it. Can I treat them all or do I need to narrow it down?

I have looked at the ever famous chicken poo chart and countless chicken poo images this morning. But cant seem to pin point it.

It's shed intestinal lining which is normal on occasion. If it's frequent or constant, it can possibly indicate a cocci or capillary worm problem.

Thank you! I looked at so many poo images this morning I was so confused. I had no clue they did that.

Do you have any birds acting lethargic, fluffed up, slowed or stopped eating or drinking, no eggs? If so, it could be one of the causes I mentioned in post #2.

Since you posted on another thread about your chicken looking very pale, I would run out and try to get some Corid, and start treatment if you think they are showing symptoms of coccidiosis, as Dawg 53 has listed. Corid won't hurt them if it isn't cocci, but there is more intestinal shed than I have ever noticed in my chickens' droppings. Since it's July 4th, and stores may be closed, you can give a little buttermilk to help coat the intestines until you get Corid. Dosage is 2 tsp of the liquid per gallon of water for 5 days. Treat all chickens at the same time.

Thanks it was my juvenile roo doing this and he only did it that one time. My pale one is my hen, but temps we in the mid and high 90s. This roo just started mating too, ugh! Thankfully the "warden" keeps him in check. The juvenile and everyone else for that matter is eating and drinking just fine
