bright orange in faeces
« on: June 24, 2010, 12:17 »
Can anyone tell me anything about the bright orange strings in the faeces of fledging chicks. Are these worms, or are they simply the remains of the yolk sack?. And if they are worms and the chicks are passing them naturally, do they need wormer?
