So, what is this?

[Bjburns]

My boys have taken charge of the chicken keeping now that school is out, ( yay me!) They raced in this morning to tell me there might be an egg. This was on the ramp into the coop. Thoughts? I am leaning towards colorful poo, but they will be crushed if I'm right and they're wrong. So we are going to let you experts weigh in. I will admit that it is off in color from their usual. Our flock is comprised of seven pullets and one Cockerel, all amberlinks, approximately seventeen weeks old.

I take that back. When iexpanded the picture i think i can see blood and yellow coloration?

I would medicate for coccidosis quickly.

I can tell you for sure it's chicken s#%t!

I will start them all on treatment in the morning. Thanks for your help!

No need for treatment, that's a cecal poop.

Good visual references for all kinds of poops,
just don't jump to any terrible conclusions too quickly:
