Pinkish droppings

[fergusonlitch]

We have six chickens (Barred Rocks, Golden and Silver laced Wyandotte) which are about 6 months old.
Went out to do coop cleaning and found what looks like some pinkish droppings. After cleaning up the box and working on the run I also found some slightly pink dropping on the ramp. So would this be normal? Some of my hens had laying (we think three), could this be related to that or am I looking at an illness? I've read about Cocci, however most look like it's for younger birds. Any thoughts?

Have you introduced any new birds recently?
It could just be shed intestinal lining.
I would keep an eye on her just in case

Its probably just shed intestinal lineing. Are any of your birds acting sick?

When I see too many dropping like that from an older bird I worm them and treat for coccidiosis.

Normal stools have greenish-brown with a white cap. If the white part is pinkish it is normal at nighttime, but not all the time. Pictures of poo are always very popular and get more specific advice.
