Newbie here and to chicken keeping. I noticed this morning when I let the girls out that one had a blooming poo. This post has been very helpful.......odd but helpful. I think I've identified it as an intestinal shed poo....how long will that last? Is it a once in a while thing or will it happen for a day at a time?? How many should I expect to see before I become alarmed?
Will keep an eye out for irregularities and hope to keep the girls happy & healthy!

Hello all, what a wonderful post! I work at the University of Leicester and my research is all about chicken gut health, so collecting and working with chicken poo is (unfortunately) a large part of this.
I actually have a project going on at the moment where I am going about collecting samples of faecal and caecal droppings from 'backyard'/allotment' hens. If anyone in the East Midlands has healthy hens and wants to let me have some of their poo (weird I know), that would be wonderful.  Thanks Natalie :)

I love in Burbage & have 5 healthy chickens, you can have some of theirs if you like. How funny is it that we share the same surname, same spelling too!

Thankyou it is helpful, but I am confused with mine, one of my 6months chicken looks sick as she is not normal and her crown is turning purple and poop is watery yellow white , please help I don’t want it to die.
Thanks
 
Update : my chicken died early morning the next day, its a second one I am loosing in 2 months, She had just started laying eggs this spring. I was so sad that it passed away, I had fever for a day. I have its poop pic of day before it died. Can anyone help me diagnosis what may have happened to her so I may be careful for the other hen.
not sure how to insert image here, the poop is pale yellow/whiteish
