Is their poop normal?

[cqangie29]

Chicken poop is dark brown, wet, but thick. Kinda like a runny toothpaste. But dark brown and shiny. It's very sticky because if they walk in it, it gets stuck like thick syrup. My chicks are 5 weeks old. I just put them outside 3 days ago in their coop. They have heat lamps. Picture is not that good. Its all I could get

Very good description of "Cecal Poop"
Looks normal to me.

Chickens have 2 "types" of poop. One is a "normal" firm(ish) formed poop that usually has a white cap, the other is "Cecal" like your photo and description.
Usually 1 out of every 8-10 normal poops are cecal poops.
Consistency of both can vary in color, shape, size (it gets bigger!!) and texture depending on food and water consumption.
Looking at poop is a good habit to get into. You will soon start to recognize what is normal for your flock. Odd looking poop to you may alert you to something going on.

Cecal poop, normal. It stinks.

It's normal as long as its just a few of their poops and the rest are solid and brown+white.

I noticed this morning one of my rooster had a dark green cecal poop and i was wondering if I should be concerned or if it is normal for it to be this color. I also noticed a couple other chickens with the same color

Well, it could be normal
What are they eating?

Do your chickens free range or are you feeding them alot of 'greens'?

They have a very big yard that they stay in and eat a lot of bugs and some grass that is in there. I can’t completely free range then because of predators:/

They mainly eat grubs and right now chick feed because they are only 2 1/2 months old I have grass growing back in in the yard so maybe they are getting it from that

It could be from grass, dirt and grubs. I don't see anything that concerning, poop can be all colors depending on diet.
I would make sure they have a source of grit too

I add wood ash to my run when I have it - I see pitch black poop for many days afterward because they also eat the charred pieces.
