Cecal vs Regular Poop

Thank for the article. I now know WHY the droppings can vary so much in a day...or as your article indicates--twice-a-day. I wish I had read this earlier. It is a relief to know, everything is ok.
I also learned more about chicken anatomy. The more we know, the better for our chickens, IMO.

Informative and direct.

Thank you for the article and great pictures!!

Nice comparison pictures.

Brief but informative. I wish I had known about cecal poop before I got my first chicks! I was one of those highly alarmed new chicken owners who eventually learned about it out of concern for my chickens' health. I would like to ask however, if runniness of cecal poop problematic, so long as there is no blood, and other regular poops seem normal? My chickens' cecal poops do tend to look more runny. Thanks!

Thank you! I'm a new chick mama and I thought my chicks were sick! It's a relief to find out they are healthy and normal. Phew!

Useful, eye-on information so people can learn the difference between normal and abnormal.

This is a good resource for those with questions bout normal chicken manure droppings.

A very well-written article that specifies a clear, concise manner where those nasty little chicken surprises come from and how they are generated. It also notes that the cecal poops are natural and nothing to be alarmed by, assuring worried chicken keepers that the poops are not a sign of illness in the chicken.
Short, but informative.
