Black poo?!

[Red&Yellow]

I've been noticing my EEs have been pooing nasty, solid-coloured black that smells NASTY for about a week or two. The bedding they have is straw, they've been eating 18% protein layer/breeder/broiler feed from Southern States, they're a year old. It dosen't happen EVERY poo, but there is quite a bit of black poo. They have 24/7 access to water and feed, the egg laying has dropped off just a tiny bit. Any ideas? Pleease and thank you.

Are they eating any sunflower seeds? Mine poop black when they eat them.

Is it like a thick chocolate pudding? That's normal. Here's a poop site that might help and maybe you can identify future poops!

They are not eating sunflower seeds (I'm positive

)


The poo is extremely black, like tar black. Not chocolate-y at all.
