What does Chicken Poop look like?

[jwankowski]

My 5 hens are eating and drinking well. I feed them Purina Layena Pellets and Crumbles which has oyster shell in it. Their poop is dark and solid but also has white spots/section in it. I presume that the white is from the oyster shell in the feed, but might it be something else?

The white on the feces is urates. Birds don't urinate so that's what it looks like.

Sounds like normal droppings to me. Here's a thread about poop, in case you see some strange/nasty ones.

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