Poo found outside coop!

[easton coop]

This morning I found some poo outside my coop and am a bit concerned by what it may have come from. As you can see it is about 5cm long. Does anyone have any ideas!!

bird of some sort.. do your chickens free range?

No they are in a closed run all day. Thought it may be a pheasant! I'm just making sure it's nothing to worry about.

with the white in there I would say bird but I could be wrong.... or snake, but my snake's poop looks dryer then that.

I usually only get worried when it looks like dog poop or cat poop, so dark with no white in it

Thanks, I think it maybe a bird, snakes not much of a problem here in the UK.

Looks bird to me, nice white urates. Could be turtle or lizard, though - neither of which are really worries. Snakes barely have urates because of how efficient their digestion is.

Turkey?

That's what I was thinking.

do they have turkeys in england? Perhaps some kind of predatory bird?

We do have Buzzards and Kestrels, they have recently taken pigeons from our garden, lucky the coop is enclosed! we dont have wild turkeys around here! plenty of pheasants.
