💩 Welcome to the Poultry Nerds Podcast — where no question is too weird and no topic too gross to cover… especially when it comes to poop!

In this explosively informative episode, we're joined by the legendary Jeff Mattocks, poultry nutrition expert and feed formulator, to answer the #1 mystery in backyard poultry: "What the crap is wrong with my bird?"

Jeff breaks down:

• What normal vs. abnormal chicken manure looks like
• Signs of mycotoxins in poultry feed and droppings
• The truth about wet feed, fermentation, and feed spoilage
• How to recognize Clostridium, coccidiosis, and nutritional imbalances
• Why apple cider vinegar is not the enemy
• The power of Redmond Conditioner and natural mycotoxin binders
• Secrets to interpreting color, texture, and smell of poultry poop
• Why poop tells the story of your flock’s health

We also laugh through talk of pigs, turkeys, ducks, and why raising poultry is just like raising kids — only more rewarding.

📌 Whether you're a backyard poultry keeper, show bird enthusiast, or just curious about what your chicken’s poop is telling you — this is one you do not want to miss.
