yellow poo

[newbiechickenmamma11]

I have a 9 month old hen who today I noticed her comb is a little more pale than usual. I also observed her do two poops today where there's yellow in the urates and it's a bit bubbly. I have attached two photos of Poo #1. The second image is me breaking it apart with a stick.
I have also attached a photo of Poo #2.

They've had quite a few leafy green scraps today so I wonder if that is why the solid-y bit is a bit green coloured? But the yellow in the urates I'm wondering if I should be concerned about.

She seemed a tiny bit less active than normal today, and her crop wasn't particularly full by evening. She has been laying regularly this week, and was wormed two months ago with flubenol (they're on a 3 month worming schedule).

Should I be concerned about the poo?? I read that it could be a sign of infection or liver issues? I'm happy to take her to a vet if there's a cause for concern, but thought I'd ask here first as I haven't had positive experiences with avian vets in the past.

Thank you <3

I would be concerned about liver or reproductive problems. I would make sure that she is drinking fluids well. The dark green poo and yellow urates are usually bile, and the dark green indicates she is not eating much. Does she have any swelling or enlargement of her lower belly under her vent? Is she having any labored breathing? Has she been on any b vitamins that might have colored her urates yellow?

Hi there, appreciate your reply! Yes she didn't seem to eat much yesterday.

This morning I have checked on her and she seems to be back to her usual active self, and seems to have her appetite back. And her comb seems about the same.

She doesn't ave any swelling of her belly under her vent. Her breathing isn't laboured, she hasn't had any B vitamins. But yesterday I put some avian vitamins in their water just in case it helps.

I tried to watch her do a poo this morning and only managed to see one. It came out like a liquidy squirt, with clear liquids, and green tinged poo. Does that sound concerning? I have attached a photo.

Thanks

The avian vitamins may have caused the green bile and yellow in the poo. It sounds like she is doing better today. Let us know how the droppings look once the avian vitamins are out of her system.
