Is this normal poop?

[rosco]

is this "poop" an indication of illness? sometimes the same chicken releases a clear viscous looking yellowish "pooop." the hen seems normal.

These are from my poop favorites file. Maybe it will help until someone who knows something logs on.

Looks like caecal poo to me. It's normal.

great information with photos on the third website, www.chatallotment.org.uk/index....

thank you. i'm am now quite verse in chicken droppings, although, the range of what normal droppings are is huge. i guess i'll just look for blood, froth and worms. i just found out that caecal droppings even exist.
