Can someone help me here PLEASE??

This morning I found this huge poo, shaped like a small egg in my girls' treat bowl of all things?? I don't know WHAT that's all about?? It's white on one end but the rest is poo??!! They are 20 wks tomorrow!! One, my BR has been squatting for me for nearly a week now. I also noticed that one of the two, I'm sure it's Daisy the one squatting, was laying in the nest at some point between last night and this morning cause I can see the indentation in the pine shavings. I'm REALLY concerned about this though as I've never seen anything like it. I'm also a first time chicken owner, and have a BR and an EE. THANKS for any ideas you can give me as to WHAT is going on here. They seem to be acting fine otherwise.

That sounds like totally normal chicken poop. They can have all kinds of poop that falls into the "normal" category, and some times it's quite large.

Whew thank you!! That's a relief!!

Chickens do not urinate, they expel urates in their poop and that is the white stuff you are seeing so no need to fret
