    Yellow Gelatinous Excretion (Poop? Egg?)

    My hen, LB, has been sick for over a week now (started notice symptoms Monday, May 29th). When it started out, it looked as if she might be egg bound. I isolated her immediately, I sat her in warm epsom salt baths, massaged her abdomen, gave her some calcium, and digitally probed for an egg...

    Bristol Stool Chart for Chickens

    Well, not quite a Bristol chart, but as close as I have found. It hasn’t captured every fecal variation, but it has a lot of good information. Maybe we can build on this and have a “Visual Poo Clearinghouse” for normal and abnormal poop to aid in our hen care...

    Yellow Urates in Otherwise Normal Poo

    Hi there- FYI- I live in Northeast Vermont. This is my first flock. I have five hens and they are almost a year old. One of my hens (I haven’t identified who) is pooping otherwise healthy looking poo, but the urates are yellow (I’ll post pictures). Available information on this topic is...

    Yawling

    My Australorp, Betty, makes this crazy sound that can only be described as yawling. She makes it all day everyday. She’s the only one who does it. Does anyone know what it means?
