I found a small pile right outside the catdoor, (amongst chicken poop) and then this in a 3 gallon bucket in the chicken coop. The coloration looks like chicken droppings, but it is long and skinny, like cat's but smaller.
Buff orpingtons, gold stars, black sex link, barred rock, white leg horns, wyandottes, and easter eggers. I've never seen this type before. They are maybe and 1 1/2 or so long.
That just looks like firm chicken poop to me. I forget what the word is for the white component on the end there (it will come to me after I hit submit), but it seems fairly normal. What are you feeding your chickens?
