Bar-b-q sauce poop

[nsanywhere]

Sorry to be gross, but bar-b-q sauce is the only thing I can think of to describe what I found in the pen today. Not sure yet who it's coming from, but I will be doing some serious hen checks this week!

But, I do know that's not normal. They haven't had a change in food or anything out of the ordinary. Any ideas what might cause this? Didn't take a pic yet - needed to identify?

Sounds like cecal poop, probably normal. Here's the infamous poop page:

ETA- Is it bloody?

Sounds like it may have blood in it which makes me think of coccidiosis. You will want to treat is ASAP. They are actually bleeding in the intestine and can die from it. I would treat them all and not worry about which particular bird may have it. You can use Corid and I think Sulmet to treat. I am sorry, not the most experienced person on here, but I am sure they will have more to offer. Do you have any of those meds on hand? Good luck!

I hope some of these help. I had a better one, but it is lost in the files somewhere.
I hope you figure it out and your hen just had some yummy beets or berries or something benign.

yeaaa! IMP had it!
