What is with this poop? (Gross Pictures)

[3littlechickies]

HI!

I let my three girls who are five weeks old out to run around the kitchen. My Ameracauna pooped very liquid poop. So did my Buff Orpington. I know that chickens don't pee but it was like they did. I was wondering if this was normal sometimes.
Thanks!

These are from my Ameracauna.












This is the one from my Buff Orpington.



Thanks

and sorry for the grossness

of the pictures!

Check these out, it may help answer your questions. I read a good article about the subject, but cannot find it.

Thanks Delight30 ! I'm think it was that she was drinking a lot of water like it said in the last link. Thanks again!

Sure is a variety you have there! Yup! Chickens do have a large variety of poops. All normal. I've seen every one of your poop photos from my chickens. All normal.

You're right in associating some of the runnier fare with drinking a lot of water. You can also expect something similar when feeding them foods high in water content, such as squash, melon, and lettuce, etc.

Tip: if you're as fastidious as I am about keeping their living quarters clean, don't feed them the above foods late in the day or by morning, the results can necessitate a truly dreadful cleanup.
