Changes in Poop

[Peep Peep Baby]

do these poops look normal. My chickens are free range in grass and wooded areas. They get fruit, mealworms and sunflower seed as treats. I feed them new country organic feed. I also give ACV and probiotics from time to time. Their poops are normally firm but these are splattering all over the poop board. Are they just drinking more water. thank you for your help.

Normal poop. Yes, it will get more liquid or watery as they consume things with higher water content such as green grass. The color also changes according to what they've eaten.

For neon magenta poop try feeding purple cabbage and get a real thrill. To see poop that will appear coal black and make you suck in your breath with excitement, put wood ash in their dirt bath. For rusty orange poop, feed raw grated carrots. Good times.

I'd cut back on the fruits, mealworms and sunflower seeds and other goodies and only feed them their layer feed for awhile. Then the feces should be looking "more" normal. It's like a kid in a candy store.

Will do. Thank you both. However I may have a chicken mutiny in my hands.
