Normal



Picture taken by Catsmuvva
These last three pictures have shed intestinal lining in them - quite normal, not a cause for concern.
Coral coloured Urates
These are frequently deposited overnight and are quite normal
Oily and Foamy


The range of "Normal" is huge :shock:
Ceacal



These are produced from the caecum of the chicken and are mustard to dark brown froth. They are expelled every 8
to 10 droppings.
Fly Maggots
(picture curtesy of Vember)
Flies will lay their eggs on moist chicken poo and in warm weather they will very quickly hatch into small maggots.
Watery
Watery droppings can be produced by hens which are too hot. It can be a way for them to cool down by drinking a
lot and losing some of their heat in frequent wet droppings. It can also be a sign that the hens are not eating
enough too.
Abnormal poos
Coccidiosis produces blood in faeces.
Coccidiosis produces blood in faeces.
The hen who produced this specimen was an older bird who became very thirsty.
She is producing a large amount of watery urates the cause of which is unknown, but could possibly be a kidney
problem.
The hen who produced this specimen was about 25 weeks old. She went off her food and ate so little she became
underweight. She held her tail down and was tired. She may have had worms and/or egg peritonitis.
Worms

Broody Poo
Thanks to ANHBUC for this picture
Broody's poos are huge and very smelly !
Sulphur yellow, foamy dropping can bea sign of Blackhead (Histamonosis) which is caused by a protozoan parasite
infecting the gut. It is however rare in back yard hens !
This picture was taken after 2 days treatment with flubenvet. The worms are probably Ascaridia galli, they don't
cause much harm to the birds unless they are present in large numbers. It is not unkown for them to enter the
reproductive tract from the digestive tract via the vent and be found inside an egg :shock:

See white watery picture in gallery above.
I am now convinced that poops like these are caused by bad diet, if there are no other symptoms. Mine do them if
they steal cat food or if I give them too much bread.

Hi Aunty. She was about 2 years old when I got her in September 2007. I was told that she was a Warren. I think an
ex bat, but not totally sure. Around the end of February she started drinking enormous quantities of water but was
still laying. Eventually her eggs (which were brown) became white. She started to look unhappy and lethargic and
stopped laying so I had to terminate her at the end of April. I was not at all happy about this as I had never killed a
pet before, but felt that I had no choice. Any ideas on what was the trouble?

Just a guess but I'd say a kidney problem. Hence the drinking a lot and passing a lot of water out in her urates.
She'd had a hard life and you gave her a happy and descent end to it
Can I put the picture in the galery please ?
