White to yellow urates. Scared it's Thor!

[gritsar]

The chickens are a year old. Free range all day. Layer pellets available 24/7. Treats the last few days have included tomatoes, 1 apple, BOSS, 2 handfuls of cat food and bread. The bread is a calcium fortified kind.
Since yesterday I have noticed 3 large stools where the normally white urate part is yellow. The rest of the stool looks completely normal. All the chickens are acting normal.
I'm scared these stools mean something is wrong and I'm really scared that they are coming from Thor.
Any ideas?
TIA

mmm.....not sure, but I'm guessing it's normal...could be something in their diet that is causing it to change color. But it might not be serious...? I saw that no one else has answered yet, even though you posted about 2-3 hours ago...so I'm just gonna bump this up and hope that someone will know more about this!

Good luck and I hope it's nothing to worry about.

I know from your posts that you take really good care of your chickens! Have you checked this chart? It's chock full of lovely chicken poop pics:

And the thing is, there is SUCH a huge range of "normal." I think you're doing the right thing by wondering...but if they're all acting normal at this point, it's probably a bit too early to actually worry. I hope there's nothing going on!

I would say it is from the tomatoes
they will surely be okay tommorow
give them some
apple cider vinegar
2 tbsp of ACV to gallon of water
also give the
natural probiotic recipe

each chicken is to be fed 3 tbsp of this recipe
1 qt dry crumbles
2 qts of milk sweet, sour or buttermilk
1/3 cup of plain unflavored yoguart
only make enough to feed them 3 tbsp per chicken
feed this instead of treats
twice this week
then feed once a week for .life of chicken
do not feed treats when feeding this recipe
you can email me PM for other help

Thank you 77horses for bumping me.
Wynette, I did check the poo chart first thing. It says coral colored urates are normal and are frequently deposited overnight. I'm hoping that's the case.
Thank you too Glenda for your help.
I'm gonna keep (an even more) watchful eye on them.
I haven't had to deal with any illness so far *knock on wood* and I'm hoping to keep it that way.
