poop question advice please
« on: July 21, 2015, 21:56 »
I am keeping an eye on poop with my birds as one seems to have problems. :(

Today I scooped up a walnut whip type poop and noticed that part of it contained something like a very small jelly fish, about the size of your small finger nail. I separated it, but forgot to get a photo duh :wacko:.  There was nothing wriggling in it and it resembled a piece of intestine. Do chickens shed their insides from time to time??

Know what would be nice in your garden, a few hens lol

Have you checked the poop gallery pictures ?  There may be something in there that resembles what you saw.

Chickens do shed bits of intestinal lining periodically, but that usually shows as red in the poo.  Check the tape worm picture and make sure it wasn't a section of one of these that you saw.

Warning - this link is porbably not one to view before breakfast if you have a weak stomach  :lol:

Thank you new shoot. I am now confident it is not worms, more like intestinal lining as it had that sausage skin type of appearance. Yes a childhood friend of mine had a Butchers shop so I got to learn a lot from there :lol:
