Weird poop

[rafiq]

Is that a layer type feed, chick starter/grower? Does the feed have an analysis or ingredient list? (protein%, vitamin/mineral content, etc.)

How long have you had this chick?
Do you provide a source of grit (crushed granite/small rocks) so she can process foods?

Hard to know what's going on her - there's a lot of yellow in the poop - have you ever treated for Coccidiosis? Do you have access to any antibiotics? What can you get?

Well I don't have grit and I have never treated coccidiosis and she is with me for 4 months.

She's only 4 months old or you've had her for 4 months?
She does need a source of grit does she have dirt available?

If you can take a sample of her poop for testing that would be good.

She is only 4 months old. By the way is she having coccidiosis?

It is difficult to tell what is going on with your pullet, but the bright yellow in the dark green dropping looks abnormal. The white is uric acid kidney waste. Are the small particles in the dropping seeds or bits of her undigested food? Can you try to get some sulfamide antibiotic such as sulfamethazole, sulfadimethoxine, sulfatrim, sulfaquinoxaline? Those can treat for coccidiosis and enteritis, both intestinal diseases. They also can treat for gram negative and some gram positive bacteria. You would need to not eat any future eggs that she lays for at least a month after she is off the antibiotic. We are not vets here, so if you can see one locally, they could test some poop for disease and parasites.

Won't amprolium work?

If it is coccidiosis it may well work if that is what you can get, but the bright yellow in the poop is concerning. I would treat her with amprollium, but if you don’t see improvement after a couple of days, I would look for the sulfa antibiotic.

Did you think the little bits in the poop were seeds or feed particles?

So the garlic wont work. But would the black pepper work? And Is there any other protein type food you can suggest?

To be honest I have never heard of the black pepper job I’ve, that’s new to me. If you can’t access tinned cat food how about peas ? The ordinary green variety, from frozen is fine but don’t give to her frozen walnut pieces are good too. I am assuming the feed you give her is a mixed grain type ? If so that sounds good. Do you live in the countryside ? Does she free range ?

The bright yellow poop can indicate liver damage, which will result in death if a change isn't made to the chick's diet soon.
Too much calcium in the food, or certain seeds from the fruit maybe the cause.

thank you very much guys for the information. I will remain very grateful. Albert (the chick) is my first chicken and she is probably the best friend for a 14 year old boy like me.
