Poop Normal? Pictures attached

[Fancypants1]

We just got this pullet from a poultry show on Saturday. She is not eating any pellets just scratch. She is drinking water normally. She is isolated in our basement until I know she is not sick. Does her poop look normal??? She also has a very strange smell to her. Not a bad smell, it's hard to describe. Not a rotting smell just a funky, musty smell.

I am going to have someone come out and run a full blood test on her just to be safe. Not all her poop has the red stuff. She is only eating scratch right now, not touching the pellets even when I mix them in.

A fecal will be much less expensive.

Try making a mash with the pellets and see if she'll eat that.

This seems to be a good set of poop pics for future reference

Do all of her poops have the red stuff? Can you take a poop sample to the vet and have it checked for worm eggs and coccidiosis?

Careful, that chart has pictures labeled as normal that are not normal.

That chart says this is normal:


The feedstore I go to had six with poop like this, three of them died, so I asked for their bodies and sent them to UC Davis for necropsies and the necropsy report stated they all three died from severe coccidiosis, so clearly this was not normal.

Not quite, the chart says as a one time thing those are fine, multiple times is always a different story, it's like getting a shelless egg, it's not an indication of something else unless you have many shelless eggs.

Quote: The chart calls that a normal cecal poop, which it is not. Cecal poop should never be foamy.
