eggy poop

[chick-e-chick]

Found some poop that was the shape and size of a normal poop but seemed to be mixed in with yolk. One of the hens has been laying soft or shell-less eggs for about a week, but not sure which hen passed the poop.

Would be greateful for any ideas?

Are any of themshowing any signs of distress?
What are you feeding them and are they supplemented with oystershell?
Any way to post pic of poo?

Sorry not been on line for a while. There were no signs of distress, a little bit 'slow' and lethargic. The poop only happened once, it's been ok since, she didn't lay for a few days but she's back to normal now. The hens have mainly layers pellets, there's oyster shell for them in a pot permanently.

Although she's ok now I'd still be interested to know what the poop with 'yolky' stuff in it meant.
