My chicken had an edoscopy and general anesthetic last monday for a susspected crop blockage but she hasnt got that, turns out she has a diverticulum (pouch of skin by the crop that shouldnt be there, a defect) anyhow vet said she should be ok and live with it.
when i picked her up from vets she'd pooped on the white blanket in her crate and the liquid from the poop that had seeped into the blanket looked pink. the vet had left but the nurse said it looked ok to her.
ever since my hen has had odd coloured urates in her poop and im not sure if i should be worried. i checked the poop chart and this looked like the coral poop but the chart info says this is commonly passed at night and my hens doing it most of the day. she has the normal dark brown liquidy ones in between.
the pics dont show the colour too well, the brown part is normal brown but the bit thats meant to be white (urates) is a coral almost pinky colour as you can see below the pinky colour seeps into the newspaper. this was the paper i removed from under her roost last night.
im not sure if this is blood being passed. any help or opinions will be greatly appreciated. xx
