Broody poop but not broody?

[Wishing4Wings]

I had one bird who seemed 'hold it' until I opened the pop door to the run in the morning, she's be first out and would immediately drop a huge turd.

I wish they all did that. Think how clean the coop would stay!

I'd just be feeding a decent higher protein(18-20%) chicken ration,
always available,
and maybe a bit of extra animal protein.
What do you normally feed?

Ok I’ll stick with the normal food with protein on the side. They get 18% whole grain layer. There was some excess grumbling so I think it is just a broody situation. it’s definitely more than just holding it until she gets out (I’ve had that as well). I will continue to monitor. Thanks!
