Confused: Completly white poop

[umarson]

so confused and couldn't figure out which one is having this white poop. I tryed treating with amprolium for the second time but still seeing another white poop. If cocci is not the infection, what could it be?

Could you post a picture of it?

If it's extremely runny it could be due to the heat. Chickens drink water in large quantities and poop watery dropping to cool themselves down. It's the gross equivalent of sweating.

Other than that, worms can cause diarrhea... When was the last time you wormed your flock?

Kidney issues can also cause it. Feeding them a ration that's too high in protein will do it, too.

Do you have any more info?

Could be kidneys.

Very possibly.

Umarson, could you take a fecal sample to the vet? Without a picture it's really hard to "diagnose" something... and even then, white diarrhea can have many causes. A vet will be able to tell you if it's Coccidiosis, worms, or some bacterial thing.

Keep us posted!!

this morning i learnt that some of them are having gumboro symptoms on their faces, so got the vaccine and gave them in water. Dont know if that's all? We locally use palm oil by rubbing it on the face and make the drink it. Am yet to do that.
