Vent Gleet? UPDATED* fecal test indicates tapeworms and roundworms

[ChxLadyCass]

Good morning fellow chicken lovers! While out on poop patrol today, here is what I found. Cecal poops maybe? Still not sure! No worms in the stool though that I can see.

I'd say cecal.

I'd say cecal.

They are STINKY!! Everyone's behavior seems just fine! Alright, I better focus on some work today! Talk to you later aart!

That looks *much* better than the picture you sent in the PM.

Oh, and for seeing the worms after worming I read that often you won't because they get digested.

For those of you following this thread and my flock's story, I have a concern. My Buff Orpington died and now one of her "sisters" has a droopy, purplish comb. She was acting just fine this morning but I have a full day today and not much time to observe her today. Could my ladies just be getting old? Or is there something else I should be looking for? If she starts acting sick I'm going to try to get her to the lab ASAP to see if they can find out what's going on. Any other suggestions? Thank you!

How old are they? Age probably has nothing to do with it.

I keep updating my birds status but no one is answering me. Sick bird needs help.

Think they are posting in this monster thread:

not the best way to get/give help IMO.
