Blue Poop???

[Mandy020386]

Try this website for answers on poop. It has pictures with descriptions on it and it helped me out. My hens have watery poop and I was worried but this site helped me figure out that because it is always above 90* they are drinking way more water and that's what causes the watery poop. Great site and lots of pictures .

When I was in the chicken run yesterday, I noticed BLUE poop!!! That was the only weird thing about it. Blue. Like, really really blue. Very weird. I didn't see any evidence of worms or diarrhea. They did eat a bunch of kale and red cabbage the day before. Would that do it? It seems like they are all normal now. This ever happen to anyone else?

It's also a dangerous sign that food is not being processed properly. It can mean death to a chicken. It is 95 here with heat index of 105 and I just checked on my gals and saw blue poop. I keep taking ice blocks out to them but they are definitely stressed. I hope I don't lose any. Well, I have a laugh too. After I typed the above, I realized I had given the gals frozen blueberries! So that is why their poop was blue! I've lost hens in the past due to illness/green poop so I was scared when I saw blue poop! It was the blueberries!

Hah hah hah, phew! I thought something sinister may have occurred while we were at work today, but as it seems, the red cabbage the team were chowing on when I left this morning is the culprit. If the birds were a bit off key this evening or had lost a lot of vigour then I would be concerned, but this time it's quite an amusing relief.

Glad I read this, my run was full of blue poo today... I gave them a whole red cabbage to peck at yesterday

I went out this morning to let me chickens out of the coop and later noticed blue poop came here so quick only to find out it had been the purple cabbage I gave them.

Same happened to me! I was so worried that some kind of disease was spreading through our flock - turns out it was the red cabbage I let them peck at all day.
