Strange Poop with Mucus

[Katanahamon]

I haven’t wormed them with any of your listed wormers. I dewormed them last fall with Poultry Dewormer 5x (6.7 mg Fenbendazole tablets) as the woman at the feed store discouraged me from purchasing SafeGuard and using it off label for chickens.

The ladies are drinking water, no one is lethargic, or puffed up. It’s been insanely hot here the past few month (I’m in Portland, Oregon where we had temps over 110 for 4 days in a row), so they’ve been less active during the day- but are back to their daily foraging, dust baths, and exploring now that we’re getting a break from the sun. I have one chicken whom’s comb varies from bright ted to a pale shade, but she isn’t exhibiting any lethargy.

Should I grab some SafeGuard and deworm as a precaution?

Thank you for your response- it is very appreciated.

We’re they tested? Random application of worming agents can make worms resistant..it’s better to know exactly what you’re dealing with to eliminate that issue, and to not medicate unnecessarily..

They have not been tested for worms.
