[orfy]

Is this something to be worried about?

I've had them for nearly 2 weeks now. All 3 seem fine.

hello orfy! my 5 girls do poo's like this some of the time and then in the same day it is normal again??? sometimes it an orange colour too. the folks on here suggested to me that maybe lay off the greens as my babcock does ones like your pic and they make a noise too!!!!!!!!! (cant believe i have observed so many chicken poo's and discussing it at 9am!)

Hi both
I'm no real expert on poops honest  
I don't think it's owt to worry about, i get em like that sometimes, orangey ones might be the Ceacal poops

But if you have a look through here it might help :?

Hello, Can I ask what a ceacal poop is ? I not heard of that before, mine all do about 1 a day at moment (they havent started laying yet) :?

Do they ever sneak in and steal the cat's food? Mine do poops like that when they do. It may be too much salt or protein in the diet??

Aunt Sally says :-

Passing caecal poos ie. faeces which has spent time in the caecum is quite normal and quit natural. All hens pass a caecal poo about every 10th motion. So don't worry  






Hope that helps, all I know is they do them an they stink, but nowt to worry about

I was worried for a moment chickenlady! I thought you meant they only did one poop a day - mine do lots and lots at least 30 each a day I would say.

I should be so lucky!! no! I think ours do 1 every 30 seconds (or thats what it seems like)

Your picture is not displaying at the moment orfy, but if it's a caecal poo then I'd be worried if they didn't do them !!!!
