Dark green poop?

[kyki]

Today I noticed a whole bunch dark green poop in the bedding of my chicken run. I've given them green cabbage hung on a bungee cord before which they love but today was the first time I gave them red cabbage because it was on sale at the grocery store. The only other new thing is that I emptied in some bean sprouts that were a little on the old side. They otherwise seem to all be acting normal. So is the green poop from the cabbage or should I be worried??

HMM I haven’t seen that before. Mine had bloody poop which was intestinal lining but it stopped. I’ll keep an eye out on mine.

Hi @kyki Welcome To BYC

I've never given mine red cabbage, but I have read it can make the poop dark green. Take a look at this article - you may find it helpful. http://www.the-chicken-chick.com/2012/02/whats-scoop-on-chicken-poop-digestive.html

Wondering how it turned out, I came across the same thing today in my coop. I too have red cabbage but a small bit of it I’m wondering if that is the cause or if I have a bigger problem

The Chicken Chick article is very helpful, with lots of poop pics, so you know exactly what she's talking about. I bookmarked it.

Thank you, I did see that already I was just hoping for an update on this chicken. I know it’s an old post but thought I’d reach out.
