What in the world is this poop? Lash? *Gross Images*

[Spicegirls4]

Hello!
I don't know anything about these other than what I've googled but does this look like a lash egg? I've never seen poop like this?
She's an 8-month-old lavender orpington and she seems to be acting normal?

Thank you!

It looks like lash material, which comes from an infection (Salpingitis) in her reproductive organs.

She'd need an antibiotic, usually Amoxicillin or Baytril (enrofloxacin).

If you can't get either locally, Jedds.com is one source that usually has most things without a prescription.

Have you seen any shell-less or soft eggs from her? Does she lay eggs often? I might separate her for part of the day, with food and water, and get pictures of any further droppings today. Then let her out this evening.

No shell-less or soft eggs but I don't usually see her go inside when she's laying. I only really ever see my australorp going inside but I don't think I'm usually out when the other girls lay. She's still acting normal but her poops are still green. They seem to be a normal consistency, though. I put an electrolyte pack in their water this morning

I can’t really say what the white material in the dropping is, but Debbie may be right about lash material. Some intestinal issues, such as enteritis, can also cause some strange material in the droppings. Common antibiotics to use would be amoxicillin 250 mg given orally twice a day for 7 days, or enrofloxacin 10% liquid 0.1 ml per kilogram (or every 2.2 pounds) of weight, given orally twice a day for 5 days. Jedds.com has the enrofloxacin, but a vet would be the best place to get amoxicillin nowadays.
