Unusual droppings

[LadyBubbles]

Is this possible intestinal shed or something that requires treatment? I have never seen one like this.

How old is the bird?
Has she/he been having any other symptoms or issues recently?

Will be 2 next march, she seemed kind of under the weather yesterday but a little more active today. Now, I watched all evening to see who did this and I am assuming it’s her. There was another dropping similar in color but not the same consistency but didn’t catch who did it.

Having any issues with laying eggs?

The yellow is concerning and it also looks like quite a bit of mucous.

She may be having some reproductive problems, hard to know. I'd start her on 300mg Calcium Citrate+D3 once daily for a week.

Consider deworming too. Valbazen or Safeguard Liquid Goat dewormer are both good choices.

To treat most worms that poultry can have except for Tapeworm you can use Safeguard (Fenbendazole) or Valbazen (Albendazole). Both are given orally by weight; they do not mix well with water.

Safeguard dose is 0.23ml per pound of weight given orally once a day for 5 days in a row.
---OR---
Valbazen dose is 0.08ml per pound of weight given orally once, then repeated in 10 days

Here's how to give oral medications:

I actually have only seen one egg in the past two days and has been hot in Colorado. I have 8 chickens so that was odd to me as they have been laying almost daily.

Thank you. I have safeguard on hand as well as calcium so I will try to find out who did this and de worm the entire flock.
