Poo never molded, always bunch of beans = sign of what ?

[Mrs Wick]

I read something about feces that are never molded, and look like a bunch of beans
I don't remember if it is a sign of disease (coccidiosis ?) or worms (which ones?).
Someone remembers ?

@casportpony is the queen of poop.
Please take some pictures so she can see them!

Popcorn feces?

More like this : it's a little poo, with 2 beans
As a whole there are 5 or 6 beans like that, and urine is liquid
My pullet is 4 months old

Again, it could be coccidiosis, caused by E. acervulina which can infect point of lay chickens.
In this link, scroll down to Figure 1. Then go down to the second paragraph where it starts with "E. acervulina," which describes the feces you're seeing:

Watching to learn. I have seen my nearly 2 yo poop like this a few times. Just figured its what she ate since she free ranges.

There are many things that can cause white watery feces. It's best to keep it simple with the most common poultry issues. Anything more than that will require expensive testing, treatments etc...and more than likely the bird ends up being culled or dies on its own.

@dawg53
Having seen that a couple of times, but not consistently should I be concerned? Wondering if perhaps I should treat her.
Thanks for replying!

As long as the hen in question is eating and drinking, acting normal like a chicken should, I wouldnt be too concerned. Since we both live in the same area and it's springtime, and how warm and moist our soil is...consider worming your birds. I wormed mine last week.
