Yellow chicken poop

[PhenixJiRa]

I’ve read that yellow poop isn’t a good thing. This was found in the run today and it’s one of 3 hens but not sure which.

Looking on line it seems to be either just from too much protein or the hen is dying. Research can certainly be frustrating.

Ideas?

Hi, can you observe them for a few minutes? See if anyone is a little off?

No one has acted oddly however later in the day one tries to fly towards me and landed hard. I think sprained her leg or foot.
Completely different situation it but adds to issues.

I would see if it continues, sometimes their poops range wildly.

Do you free range? For the hen that sprained her foot you might just need to keep her in a small space for a little while so she doesn't exacerbate it.

I think that’s pretty much all I can do but I just didn’t know if someone knew exactly what the poop meant. Thanks!

Check their crops tonight after they roost, they should be nice and full, firm.

The poop in the shot otherwise looks really good. What are you feeding them?
