Seven dead hens within 4 hours, not attacked. UPDATE: Teflon Poisoning!

It's what I call the combo, it's part cecal poop (they do cecal poops 2-3 time a day usually) and part regular poop. The cecal part of it has some bubbles in it, so keep and eye on it. Bubbles are not normal, but I doubt they have anything to do with his PTFE exposure.

If he continues to have bubbles, do I need to do anything? We've gone from below freezing to above freezing for the first time in over a month also. Feels like summer out there!

Is there any chance you could have a vet check his poop for worm eggs and coccidia? It's probably nothing to worry about, so please don't get nervous.

There are all kinds of poo charts, and many people will tell you that poo like his is normal, so just keep an eye on him and all of his poops. Now might also be a good time to get a baseline weight on him. Whatever you do, please don't worry. If he were mine I would just weigh him and inspect poops for a few days, then weigh again.

I do believe we've got the worst of the polar vortex behind us, according to Accuweather. Smooth sailing from here on out, till it's time to tuck the peas in the ground. Any one wanna buy a bridge?

Depends, where would the bridge take me?

Over the rainbow! Or at least to warm weather!

If I find the pot of gold at the other end of the rainbow do I have to split it with you? Less the price I pay for the bridge of course
