All, I wonder if anyone can help?
I have a 26 week old New Hampshire Red called Boo (bought at 18 weeks), not yet laying due to daylight length, who regularly passes what looks like orangey intestinal lining. This is virtually in every poo to some extent. The odd occasional wet dropping, but mainly nice firm poo with this orangey red stringy goo in it. Nothing in the ceacal poop though.
Now when I first noticed, I reached immediately for the Coxoid and gave the whole gang a good 7 days, with an extra 3 days for Boo for extra measure. No change.
I then sent off a feacal sample to a lab which came back below 50 eggs per count, no sign of worms or cocciodosis (could they be wrong?). We are now 3 weeks since I first noticed it, each day I get more intestinal lining in the poop. In herself she is absolutely fine, running around as bright as beans, first to the food (quite greedy), follows me happily round the garden, nice healthy weight, crop, and eyes....feathers good apart from a bit of moulting, normal at this time of year. No mucky butt.
Has anyone had the same from a young pullet? Do I redo Coxoid treatment or was the labs egg count wrong...or is something else going on here?
Never had this before from any hens.....thanks!
