I really need help with these poo pictures please. They are from a 6 year old peahen. She currently has ten 2 week old chicks with her and another peahen who are all pooing normally. I have a thread about it here.
I found three solid black poos yesterday and no more since then. The thing is, I don't know which peahen did them so I don't know if they are even related to the runny ones.
I've been observing closely since then and I'm certain now that only one peahen is doing the runny poos. I haven't seen her doing any normal poos at all since before yesterday.
Both peahens and all chicks are acting normally. I don't want to medicate if there is no illness but if there is something wrong I want to act quickly. My peahen is so special to me and also I want to ensure the little chicks don't pick anything up from her.
KsKingBee said the black poo may indicate a bacterial infection. I haven't seen any more of these. Her poos are all consistently runny now. Can any other poo experts please help? @casportpony?
