I have a problem

@Wyorp Rock @casportpony I'm not sure if this is related to the "problem" of the above which is why I called in our resident poop expert. Since the yolk-y, bloody dropping happened almost a week ago, the girls have been acting normal, etc. This afternoon I was out in the run and saw one of my EEs pooping and this was the result.

Is that normal, coming out in a long rope like that? Thanks!
Do they have access to long pieces of grass or straw?
It's good that she passed that, but I would think a lot of fibrous material like that could cause a blockage is not careful.
 
Does look like a lot of grass or straw in that. if they free range you may need to mow that area. If they have straw or hay in some area that may also need to be removed. Sometimes you will just get one bird that eats stuff like this and has problems, but it's worth looking into to try to prevent a blockage from happening. Even with grit, some of the long fibrous grasses are just too difficult for them to break down, especially if they eat a lot of it.
