Frankie Dicken Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 Two of my three chickens have sticky black, tar-like droppings. They were wormed two weeks ago and are very bright and active. Should I worm them again? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plum Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 Is it all the time or occasionally? If they are eating worms or slugs etc., I've found the droppings like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankie Dicken Posted August 12, 2013 Author Share Posted August 12, 2013 Thanks. Not all the droppings are tarry, an as they are out in the garden s"Ooops, word censored!"ing away all day, they do eat a lot of slugs and worms, I suppose. I'll worm them again.

Plum Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 The caecal droppings can be black and stink and a devil to get off perches but normal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
