Hi all,

I put up a post earlier this week about our sick flock of chickens and had some help but wanted to start a new discussion about this pic.
A summary- we had one lathargic sick chicken with yellow/ green watery poop. We caught her early and treated her with penicillin and she got better, seems to be getting worse again.
Then another sick chicken that didn’t make it.
This is what came from her vent when we pushed on it.
What is it?
We had a mild cough going around the coop, and one chicken with scaly mites. All tests from vet cams back no parasites any ideas what this could be?
 
Did one of the tests include a bacterial gram stain test? If the flock is negative for parasites, it's possible they are being exposed to a bacteria.

It would have been better if you had simply added to your original thread because now we need to establish background and ask a lot of questions all over again. Could you at least link to your original thread?
 
I called every vet within 2 hours of me and they only do parasite tests.
I asked each to test for bacteria and they say they don’t do it.
We have two chickens so far sick.
But other then weird poop which is how it starts the rest seem fine.
