It's a poopy world.......

Lately I've been watching my girls poop, when I can catch them going, I need to get a real life, right.. This morning my super layer Goldie, a RED Sex Link, pooped this (see pic) and I'm not too sure if this is a bad poop or a good poop. She is acting normal other than she did not lay an egg this morning ...yet. She is usually a 6:30 AM layer like clock work. Although she has been laying an egg a day since she started laying at the end of June (at 16 wks old) she may have missed 1-2 days the first few weeks but egg production has been a constant for at least the last 3 wks- give the girl a day off right! I'm just not sure about the white specks in her poop, I do not see any worms, it's a bit watery but its very hot and humid in FL right now and I accounted that to more water consumption, what do you think? Thank you

The white specks are called urates. Since everything comes out the same hole they pee when they poop. It looks normal to me but there is a whole article on it here:

I'm sure theres one on this site as well but I couldnt locate it

Btw it's good for you to watch them poop as it will alert you to possible health problems so not weird at all
