Cecal?

Cecal poop comes out o the cecal pouches 2-3 times a day. Labeled here as "cecum"




Cecal poop vs regular poop


These are overnight poops from a 7 year old rooster that appears to be quite healthy. On the left is a normal cecal poop, on the right are pretty normal regular poops, though one pile has a little spec of red.


This is the same poop moved to a paper towel. regular poop on top, cecal on bottom.


Same poop again. Notice the creamy texture of the cecal poop compared to the regular poop. Interestingly, I think maybe I can see a cecal worm in this picture. Will go back and see if I can verify.

I didn't realize it was a question. Send me a sample and I will run a fecal on it.

No worries... Will give her some Baycox and see if that fixes her. Thanks for the offer, I will probably take you up on that some day.
