NOT an emergency, but watery poop...

[xshoshin]

I'm seeing this kind of poop frequently the past couple weeks. All chickens are very active, eating, drinking, pooping regularly, laying (if old enough), etc. I've looked through poop with magnifier, do not see anything moving (not scientific, I know) or anything weird other than water ring. The poop in the picture just came out of my 9 week old golden sex link baby. What kind of problem might I have?

If it's hot they could be drinking more water.

I'm seeing the same thing in several of my chickens. They are 1-2 y.o., eating, drinking, foraging and behaving like normal, with the exception of laying -- I have eight adult hens and only get 4-5 eggs a day. We had a fecal test done and confirmed round words and recently dewormed them all with both Wazine (I don't think we were dosing correctly) and then Panacur paste (two pea-size doses 8-9 days apart). We're still seeing worms and the loose stools. We've been dumping eggs for two months now...it's so frustrating!

Hi sharwig. By "dumping eggs" I assume you mean you are throwing them away. Why do you have to do that?

Most meds, including dewormers have a withdrawal period where you shouldn't eat the meat/eggs
