I found these spots on my Buff Orpington yesterday when we got back to town. She is the lowest in the pecking order. Seems to be eating a drinking fine. Is this pox or from pecking??

A couple of my hens were having green poop and others with blood. So I went to my local vet supply and they advised me it could be cocci and to treat with oxytetracyclin. So I treated the entire flock. I have a small, spoiled and well taken care of flock, so not sure how this could have occurred. After the tetracycline for 7 days beginning the 19th of October I followed up with wazine. The bloody stools came back so after reading I gave them some cayenne pepper until the corid powder I ordered online arrived. Treated for the full seven days. Now I have probiotics in water. Question is, I'm seeing a lot of loose watery white droppings, what is this all about? And what do I do next? Do I deworm AGAIN? Or just stick to the probiotics? Also please note I am always analyzing their stools because no hens showed any indication of illness. Which I guess was good so I caught it early on. I had read when I first got hens that their stool is the first and best indication of something wrong so I'm always analyzing it daily. lol! TIA!

Can you post some photos of the poop?

I'm glad you did some research and found that Corid is used to treat Cocci, not antibiotics.

Since you gave them a round of Oxytetracyline, Corid, Wazine, cayenne pepper and now probiotics. The best course of action would be to take a fecal sample to your vet for a fecal float test. They can check for any worms they may have. If any are found, then give further treatment.

Give their bodies some time to recover from the meds. Make sure they are eating and drinking well, active and acting normal.

Poop color, texture, etc., can widely vary, here's some information:

It looks like it's from pecking. She may have a bit of Favus (the white) on her comb. You can apply some anti-fungal cream to see if that helps.

This is the only odd stool from one hen this morning. The rest look fine.

here is one mid-way on the corid treatment

and these stools I only saw a few of periodically.

The first photo looks like a lot of urates. I see you are in SoCal. Not sure what your temps are right now. Can see this is hot weather sometimes, but could also be some type of kidney problem. If it continues, a sample to the vet would be in order to see what's going on. Since they just got finished with the meds, this could possibly be the cause, but would clear up quickly.

You see no more of the red poop right?

this was the only abnormal looking poop I've seen which was late afternoon yesterday.

And it has been extremely hot here, quite freezing in the morning actually and by noon unbearably hot.
