Hello,
First time chicken owner here. My 11 week old pullet has had a lot of watery/loose poops with some clear mucus in them the past week. She has a normal poop on occasion but most of them are straight liquid with a little normal poop mixed in. She’s had quite a bit of diarrhea the week before this too. It’s not super hot here, it’s been in the low 70s, and I haven’t noticed her drinking an excessive amount of water. She’s a picky eater so she hasn’t had much fruits or vegetables lately either. Other than the pooping, she’s acting completely normal - eating, drinking, not lethargic. Should I be concerned about worms or coccidiosis? I know I won’t be able to know for sure without a fecal test, but would it hurt if I treated her for worms and/or coccidiosis as a preventative? I’ll attach a pic of her last two poops that I caught in a paper towel. You can see a little bit of regular poop and a big wet spot that was all water/mucus. Thanks for looking at my chicken’s
