Hi, my chicken has been feeling ill recently. She has been lethargic for a few days now we brought her inside and she hasn’t been eating or drinking like she used to. She always tries to sleep and just pooped today and it has been all water. I know when chicks drink most of the poop will be...
We’ve been noticing the chicks pooping with some red in there stool, and it seemed like everything was pointing to shed intestinal lining. The thing is, the poops like that happen almost everyday, and one of our chickens hasn’t grown much compared to the others. A vet friend (in training) of...
Hey ya’ll. First time raising chickens - I’ve had them from 3 days old. Now 17 weeks old. My Black Orp is usually the most excitable and energetic of the bunch, seems off yesterday and again today. She’s not totally lethargic but noticeable not herself. I waited for her to poop, and it seems...
We have two Easter egger hens (mix of amaurcana, australorp, and possibly buff orpington) with a lot of fecal matter below their vent (not on). I think their feathers are catching it. Is this normal or something to worry about? Should I trim their butt feathers?
New chicken parent here 🙋🏻♀️ I have three chicks that are 3-5 weeks old and now that they are eating more and getting bigger I’m noticing the differences in poops. I’m not 100% sure if they are coming from one chick or not, but if it’s cause for concern I’ll watch them until I figure out who it...
I have seen many odd chicken poops over the past few years, but this is a new one for me.
The multiple grit pieces caught my attention first. I then “dissected” it and saw what appeared to be grass. That’s strange because we haven’t been able to see it for a couple weeks now!
I have given them...
It’s frozen, but what kind of infection does this look like, if any? I’ve had a sick hen with diarrhea and anorexia that I’m nursing and waiting for antibiotics to arrive, but this is the first time i saw poop that looks like this/this color. What would you do? No vet. See pic of 💩. Thanks...
Hey was wondering if this was normal poo? It’s the only one I found and don’t want to jump the gun and start treating all the ladies if it’s nothing. Don’t want to ignore it either.
Everyone seems to be their normal happy selves as well…
Hens ages 7 through 10 months.
Hey guys! It’s been a while since I’ve been on— Life’s been crazy with college prep and I haven’t been able to be on too much.
Anyways, it got very cold very fast— and last night, I had to pull them in for the night. I let them out for a little this morning (it was still very cold so I didn’t...
Hello, new here. We have a partially blind chicken whose keep in a crate inside. I was cleaning out her crate, and heard a fart and she did this (photo below) on the floor. All of the orange specks were moving.
Her vent is clear, she’s completely fine and all her poops before and after have...
I keep my duck yard and house pretty clean and each evening hose away obvious poo from the grass. Tonight I spotted one weird poo. Not sure which of my six runners dropped it. All seemed fine today and this evening. Unsure how worried to be. Depending on what you read, it’s bacterial and scary...
So 2-3 days ago I noticed my hen not walking. I brought her inside and put her on puppy pads. She pooped and it was pure black. I knew that meant she was internally bleeding. She is eating, drinking, alert and talking. Just not walking and has black poop. BUT she’s also been having brown poop...
Hello!
About a week ago I made a post about red globs and intestinal lining in poop. After that, a few more birds had intestinal lining and no more red globs. I had a fecal float done that came back negative for worms or cocci, but I decided to worm anyways since it may not have shown up. About...
My one goose wasn't pooping much at all but now she has the worst diarrhea. It's a very dark green, almost black, but without the urate (she did poop pure urate out before though) and it smells awful.
She seems fine otherwise? Her vent is a mess though and seems very itchy. I think she's just...
Just wondering if this is normal poop or something to be concerned about. Why is there always white stuff on the poop? And usually its not reddish but this one is.
I posted before about my girl with an impacted crop. I’ve gotten her moving some and she’s pooped, but it’s all very dark greenish and smells horrible. Not like a cecal poop or ammonia, like gasoline like? There is a chemical quality to it. Very strong. Anyone know what this smell is or had...
Is this normal poop? For reference my chickens have been eating all sorts of things while they roam including elderberries. Is the red something to be concerned about?.
4.5 month old pullet has been acting lethargic and sickly for a few weeks now. Yesterday and today she's worse and acting severely lethargic. Drinking water but barely eating. Green poop.
Then I saw this in her poop. What is that?!
Those 3 pieces are sort of rubbery. Like either pieces of a...
Like too many of us, I've got a little dove here who is my heart and soul but access to an avian vet is miles and hours away so it feels horribly lonely and frightening when something goes "not right". I've tried the "on-line" services in the past and they always end with "get to a vet". If I...
Hello!
I didn’t know where to post this, since it’s not really an emergency or a disease (to my knowledge). My chickens have very inconsistent poops. At night and sometimes during the day, normal poops; sometimes wet poops, but still solid-ish; sometimes just liquid. Sometimes it’s brown...
