Hey guys! It’s been a while but I wanted to update you on Peabody (changed the name since I have a feeling it’s actually a hen). So I’ve been slowly introducing Peabody to the rest of the flock with him in a separate cage outdoors while the others are walking around. But I noticed some weird poop. It has always had very weird poop and very watery since I’ve had it but the ones I’m going to post worry me that look like coccidosis? Although I noticed this a little over a week ago and Peabody has shown no signs of coccidosis unless it’s asymptomatic.

Thank you for the update. Peabody looks beautiful; so healthy.
For the poop, it does look a little frothy. Is that blood or intestinal shedding (which is normal from time to time). If you think it is coccidiosis, you can try Corid. It is a mild treatment and will help within a day or two if it is coccidiosis and it couldn't hurt. It is not an antibiotic. It can be purchased at TSC. Treatment is for five days; directions on the bottle - can be direct administered or added to water, which would treat the entire flock if he is mingled within.
Great job caring for him - a second chance at life. How wonderful.
