would this concern you?

Here is the picture of the poo I find from one of my young hen- about 3 months old... I have been seeing this for a week or two-- have not treated because the birds are otherwise healthy acting- eating/drinking/ active... but I still can't help but worry.... any ideas?? thank you

That looks to me like the shedding of intestinal lining, which is perfectly normal. Especially if you have been seeing it for a couple of weeks, and no one is acting sick, i don't think it's a sign of anything except normalcy.

Thank you for your input... Thats what I was thinking...but it seems to happen at least once a day- so I started getting worried about cocci - but everything I read says birds will look sick and mine are as active and healthy looking as ever? Could this just be a temporary normal thing while the chicken is growing?
