Strange Poop

[EggCentric]

I did the search thingy, didn't find anything on this. My chickens (JG pullets, 24 weeks old) poop is a strange color, it's a dark brown, perhaps a red, a little runny, but doesn't really look like blood. They are all acting fine, nothing different besides the poop. No new feeds, everything is the same as always. Should I worry?

may just be the once-a-day caecal poo... did you have them on med starter?

 

[silkiechicken]

Yeah, if it's kind of like a nasty melted chocolate... it's cecal poo...

No, no medicated feed. I looked up Ceacal poo and that's probably what it is! Thank you very much!

what is Ceacal poo ?
some of my girls have poo that looks like some one left a piece of candy bar in the sun LOL they dont act any different and are eating, drinking and everything like normal - but mine are about 5 months old ( just found out they are eating the wrong kind of feed - to much corn and scratch would this make the poo look like that? )
