Question

I know this is a stupid question? But is this picture just poop i came from our chicken who had a sprain wing.

I saw your other post said she's on anti-inflammatory drugs.

When chickens are on medications of any kind, that can change their poop just like it changes ours.

Probiotics will help clear up digestive issues if you want to try some but my guess is it'll get normal again when she's off medication.

Just by looking at it, it has the constancy of gum. But we are so stressed out with her being hurt. I know we might ask dumb questions

No questions are dumb. It's how we learn. Hang in there!

Hopefully she'll be good as new soon!

It looks like very dark cecal poop, but the yellowish part, I ‘m not sure about it. Cecal poop is the fermented droppings that go through the ceca, between the small and large intestines. Can you cut the yellow part in half. It may just be some different colored dropping. It kind of looks like food.

That was a piece of food

That is what it looked like. Cecal poop happen several times a day, and can be any color from yellow, tan, brown, to black. They are more stinky, and very sticky.

I can't vouch for sticky, but I can vouch for you'll know a cecal poop as you'll smell it before you see it! We use horse bedding pellets in our brooders and they are fast at absorbing poop, but even they take a minute to get rid of the stench!
