White Flecks in stool.

[PeterB94]

Hi,

Just wondering if anyone can tell me what the white things are in my chickens stool please? They sort of look like dandruff flakes.

They don't move and don't look worm like.

(The long things are pieces of straw)

Thank you

Looks like keratin sheathing from the feather shafts. You will typically see lots and lots of this during the annual molt.
Is anyone molting? If not, give them a look over for any signs of lice or mites.

I believe you are both spot on !

I do have a few girls molting and have seen most of the chickens eating feathers just lately.

Thanks so much for you help!
