I know there are pictures, but this is from a hen after corid treatments. They are now receiving vitamins and probiotics. Towards the end of the treatment she had watery stool and now it is more wet than formed. Is this normal?
I have a picture of the watery one and then this mornings wet/semi-formed one. She seems thirsty this morning too. She is eating and acting normal though. She loves her mealworm treat.
I don't see anything to actively be worried about or hear any behavioral concerns like going off feed or withdrawal from the flock, lethargy, etc. The watery white stuff is urates.. that's how chickens pass urine., essentially in every dropping. Yellow urates would indicate a problem.
The other one looks "normal" also.
If in doubt.. consider having it (the droppings) checked for parasites by the vet, looking at it under a microscope yourself, or even trying a mail order sample kit.
FWIW.. only one or two of the 9-11 strains of coccidia currently known to effect poultry may present as blood in droppings.. all others may not.. and Corid is LESS effective against some strains (and in some locations)... most "hens" (chickens over a year old) *should* have strong immunity against it but coccidiosis may rear it's ugly head in older birds especially if there is an underlying (sometimes hidden) condition among the flock.
Also only large round worm species and tape worms may ever be seen in droppings by the naked eye.. All others stay inside the intestines and only their microscopic eggs may be passed.
That's just basic info.. without knowing/asking.. how old is your bird, why did you feel the need to treat using Corid, flock size, range size, molting, laying, feed routine, etc, and all kinds of questions.. If you have a prior thread on her condition consider linking it here so we can answer from a more informed perspective may be useful.
Hopefully you will get some more feedback from other experienced keepers and your flock will continue to thrive. Always use YOUR best judgement.
