Need to deworm

[Kiki]

Sorry I just shortened the word because my auto correct was giving me a hard time. But that's good to know! Thank you! Would they be acting sick if it was coccidiosis? I have the meds for it but I've never used it.

Not necessarily.
Can you take a video of them tomorrow along with clear photo of fresh poop?

Have you stopped feeding the treats for a few days to see if the poop returns to normal?

Safe-Guard sold for goats or the horse paste would be a good choice.

Ok, I have that too. I bought the most common meds to have on hand awhile back just in case. I also bought wormout gel, but didn't didnt fully understand dosing and don't have enough. If you think safeguard for goats is a good option, I'll start that tomorrow. Thank you!!!

Nope, only those 5.
Scratch & Peck brand layer feed. They also get a handful of dried black fly larvae a day. Yes I can get pics of poop. I can't see any worms in them. One article said to look for moving small hairs, which I do see hair type things but never moving and honestly looks like parts of grass or grain to me.
At first I assumed they were just drinking more water when it was hot, but it has continued on not hot days and now their combs aren't bright red like they used to be. However, they're all eating and acting fine.

Mine get diarrhea from hot weather.

Absolutely!
They didn't have their treats all last week because I was trying to see if that was it too, but nothing changed.

@Kiki okay, good morning!!!! No diahrea yet this morning, but here are their first poops. Along with one picture of the poop on their poop board in the coop. That one might be the obvious worms... or not. I don't really know what I'm looking for. But let me know your thought please. Thanks so much for your time!

Every time it uploads it doesn't attach, so here's a link to it on my Google photos. Hopefully that works. Thanks!

Honestly, I don't see anything concerning in the video or in the poop photos.

I see cecal poop that is normal.

If you are concerned that worms are an issue, then take some samples to your vet for confirmation of worms.
