Poop issue!!!

[wyllyschickens]

my chickens have been having very runny poop and I am concerned. I have never seen this before except in the summer when that have been hot. Please help!

Hello there! Looking at the pics, it doesn't look like anything bad. Believe it or not, there are a lot of different types of poo that is normal for a chicken. Here's a handy link for you to look at. Gross, but I think you'll feel better after you check this out.

Thank you so much! I have seen that website but I thought I would consult the experts. Thank you!

These were the latest poos .... This fist one is really worrying

Does the first one look like coccidiosis???

What are your other symptoms in your chickens? All of those poops look a little 'off' to me. When was the last time you wormed your chickens? What did you use?

They are younger still- only 25 weeks old. Other than the fact that they are not laying yet they are acting just fine. Still running around etc. they are eating fine and drinking so not too sure what I should do. I have never wormed my chickens. I didn't know I had to unless they had worms in their stool.
What should I use? Oh I'm so worried.

Safeguard for goats is a good choice. Valbazen gets ALL types of worms but is not available everywhere. Round worms are easily seen sometimes in poops. But there are LOTS of worms that are not visible because of where they are located in the chicken's body.
