Hello - Strange Droppings (picture)

[Vulture culture]

Chickens, ducks, and guineas here on 4.5 acre homestead in SW OH.

Found the site while concerned about a 3-4wk Gem Sapphire dropping. Cocci? Worms?

Hi and welcome to BYC. I’m no expert, but take a look at this link - http://www.the-chicken-chick.com/2012/02/whats-scoop-on-chicken-poop-digestive.html. @casportpony knows her onions...

Welcome to BYC. I think you you chick might have coccidiosis. Do you have any Corid?

I moved your thread to Emergencies / Diseases / Injuries and Cures so more people can help.

Lol I have read that page 3 times today. Since this was the first dropping like this I am going to see if I get anymore, then yes I am sure I can get a float test done. Just wondered if it was SUPER obvious and I was just missing it. Thx for the welcome everyone!!!

I have corid. I have a separate flock (separate purchase- quarantined) that I have been treating 1.5 teaspoons per gallon for a week. Since I haven't seen anything else concerning until today I wanted to see if it repeated so as to not over medicate. Bc once started I would need to treat for hot to 21 days, or risk creating a resistance.

Do you know which one passed that poop?
