Questionable poo

[gravs42]

Do you think this poo warrents a Corrid treatment? There are any 8 chicks in the brooder together. Not all have this kind of looking poo but hard to tell who is doing what for certain. They are 4-6 weeks old. Acting normally otherwise. They are on medicated feed and I did add probiotics and nutridrench to their water when I first noticed it.

How are your chicks doing now? Still having weird poos? My flock has largely always free ranged, but when I moved them to a new coop this winter and they were locked inside for 2-3 weeks eating only feed and no forage, several of them started laying orangish poo. If they are still doing well as of today, I wouldn't worry! Coccidiosis poos are typically very bloody.

They all seem to be fine other than the weird orangey poo, some have normal poo and some are a bit watery. I've just started to let them in the yard a bit each day and they are all having a ball chasing each other over earthworms and any bug they can find.

It's normal for at least one poo a day to be very watery, since chickens don't urinate. I would venture to guess the orange poo may be a result of something in the feed.

Was that dark red/brown blob in the bottom of the pic also poo?

No, that was an acorn or rock or something.

I haven't seen anything that looked like blood in any of the chick's poo thankfully.

Okay I was just making sure!! I think your chicks are doing fine, but if something else changes just reply to this thread.

My adult girls sometimes do poop just like this. It is normal as they clean their bowel out with poop like this.
