[thenewbckyrdchicknfrmer]

hello everyone, I was just out collecting eggs and in the quail pen i saw a white foamy poo, it just part of it though, not the whole thing, the rest of it looks normal, im still getting eggs, im not sure wich one did it, i was just wondering if its anything to be worried about. Thanks

Thats normal for mature males to do this..The foam is produced by the Proctodeal Gland of male..

That comment about this post being from 2009 is from 2015! This is the exact question I had and it’s 2018. How awesome is that?!

Also, I have no idea who any of these people are. I did happen to buy some quail today and they’re so cute, but did notice this pretty immediately.
