Consistent bright yellow poop for the past three or four weeks.

I disagree with you for saying, "I'm assuming that includes coccidiosis, but I should have asked". NO, they should have told you. That is Bad on their part.
I would call them again. Specifically say " You told me the stool test that I paid X$ for came back Negative for parasites, But, you did not tell me if you tested for Coccidiosis. I also want to know exactly what parasites did you test for because you did not provide me with a print out of the findings. I will be coming on Monday XX to pick up my results.
Do not let the person that answers the phone put you off. Keep calling until they provide you with the documentation. The phone person is just a person that answers the phone and makes appointments. She more than likely has not been trained on people skills and people like her/him can sabotage a practice and the Vet her/himself have NO clue. That the reason I say keep calling and be forceful. It's because of this, you will not be back and they just lost a client because of it but, Earned a BAD google Review. Vet probably has NO idea you even called asking for the results. Benefit of Doubt.

I am so glad you now have an official Infirmary and hopefully you won't need to use it very often. But, if you do, you have it. I use an XL dog crate and found an XL bird cage for $7.00 that I can put next to it for company to visit the injured/sick. I found this really helps the healing, prevents depression and gets the sick chicken walking, eating and drinking faster. LaFleche recommended this when I had to isolate a chic that had been attacked and left for dead by the my Big Girls.

I agree that this forum is the MOST helpful and has such knowledgeable people on here.
There are some that are just plain ol EXPERTS that I follow just because I learn so much from them. It's amazing.

Thank you for the update and please keep me updated. Have a great day!

I called and spoke to someone who was actually very helpful this time. She told me that the test included testing for coccidiosis, as well as a bunch of worms, parasites, and protozoa that she listed for me. She said it is possible, though unlikely, that my chicken could have coccidiosis and the test just not detect it, but I feel fairly confident that I can rule that out from everything she told me.
