Fecal and cecal for float test?

[DelBlueHen]

Hi all. My title is pretty much my question. When taking a sample to the vet, do I collect fecal, cecal or both? I took a fecal sample for a float test and I'm wondering whether a cecal sample would show the same results, or whether the cecal together with the fecal would give the vet more information.

Thanks in advance.

I would take both if possible, but you may need to crate the chicken possibly since cecal poops only occur every so often, possibly every 8-10 times.

Ok thanks!
