Good Poo / Bad Poo???

[TheSpiceGirls]

This is from a 4 week old Buff Orpington chick. I'm raising 4 in my garage in a dog crate. They were all on medicated feed for the first three weeks of their life. Once they finished, I mixed the remaining bit with regular chick starter and that is what they are on today.

All are acting fine, eating, drinking, chasing each other around. I have noticed a bit of light sneezing but I also just gave them a big bowl of fine dirt to dust bath in and it's their favorite thing. They are in there all day long so I'm pretty sure the sneezing is just from dust.

If this doesn't look right or looks like Cocci, what do I do to treat?

It does not look like cocci. Looks within normal range to me.

Thanks.

Yea, It doesn't look bloody to me either. But I've not had to deal w/ that and it did surprise me when I wiped it off the EcoGlow.

I'll just keep a close eye on them.

I just got a similar sample. I was worried it was worms

If I saw that intestinal shed dropping, I would watch for others similar, and look for any that are acting lethargic, not eating, or standing around puffed up or hunched. Then I would start Corid or amprollium in the water for all chicks. Dosage is 2 tsp of the liquid Corid or 1.5 tsp of the powder per gallon of water for 5-7 days.
