I have recently started new bag of Purina flock raiser, new bag of cracked corn and cleaned and re bedded coop with pine shavings. I saw a little of this poop, just thought somebody ate something weird. Even though it is very cold here, my chickens go out daily. This morning, I noticed this poop in an alarming amount. The feed smells and looks ok? I also have a wild bird problem that I can do little about. My bf will not listen when I tell him not to throw tons of sratch or boss in their run. He just goes and does this with out me knowing until I see a dozen wild birds in the run! I know I need to cover it in hw cloth but my birds also free range so the run gate is open anyway. I have corid if that's what is needed.. I also have oxitetracycline but do not want to use unless it is needed as I am allergic to antibiotics. Chickens are sneezing sometimes when I let them out but when they go to roost, I am listening for that and other respiratory and hearing/seeing nothing. Average egg count per day is 8 of twelve, a little thin shelled, oyster provided no supplemental lighting. Heat lamp at night only used 3 nights in past two weeks. It is 6 feet off floor, 6 feet from roosts on feed side, not accessible to birds at all (just pointed in their direction) and securely fastened at several points.
