EE poop so clear I thought it was thrown up water! Help!

[ten chicks]

I have been suspecting cocci, but not a single trace of blood in any poo i can find (and i have found lots). I also read about watery/runny poo in the heat, and have seen what it does to them about two weeks ago when it got into the high 90s, browinish green, but liquified. This, however, has started during cooler weather (70s instead of 90s), and neither of the other two have poop anywhere near this clear or runny. I mean, seriously, it looks like water with a few pieces of undigested feed in it! would not have believed it was poo if i hadnt seen it come out of her ***! Any other thoughts? Thanks!

There is not always blood in poop with Coccidiosis. Runny/watery poop can be an indication of Cocci,but hot weather and not eating properly can cause this also. Do not use other medications when treating for Cocci. Symptoms of Coccidiosis runny/watery poop,fluffed feathers,lethargic. Dosage for Corid powder is 1/2 tsp per gallon of water, Dosage for Corid liquid is 2 tsp per gallon of water. Treat all chicks for 5 days,do not give vitamins during treatment(interferes with medication)give vitamins after treatment.

I just looked at your other post,feather loss appears to just be molting. Chicks do go through a molt when young. Alarming when you notice all these feathers,but completely normal.

on more thing, it could be pee. chickens do pee I would still give them the medicine just in case, but just watch her

It's not pee I can almost guaruntee it unless they are doing something really weird, chickens pee comes out with the feces when they poop, its the white tip that is uric acid and then water in the poop that is their "pee"

just something I thought might be useful for you to know

My chickens had the same prob and I found out that they had had too much water. When a chicken has too much water it sometimes comes out the front, and some times the back.

I agree. Mine drink gobs of water when it's warm and poo all different kinds , even clear like pee, and sometimes gack after drinking. I really don't see anything abnormal in the poo shots.

I've had chickens pee on me. I can't explain it any other way. I've held them and they passed something clear and got me all wet.
If they are all acting normal, I would not worry. If they are acting sick, that's a different story. But chickens poop all kinds of poop . They even pass intestinal lining now and then which is sortof a reddish color.
