Is this poop normal?

[Lily V]

We are new to chickens so we are nervous but I am unsure that this is “normal” there is what I think is a feather in the poop but the consistency and color is different than all the other “leavings” I see. Can anyone give me peace of mind or information if there is something we need to fix?

Yes, thats normal. It looks like cecal poop, it is more stinky than other poops. Here is an article about chicken poops --

Thank you! With all of this talk (on my facebook pages) of so many chicks passing I was a bit nervous. We have lost three but it was the following day after we got them. They had a rough time getting delivered, poor babies! I will never order any this early again.
