Yellow poop.....could there be a problem ?

[eggmandoo]

Hi. I have 5 hens. 4 are laying. One is a few weeks off laying. One of the layers is regularly having quite bright yellow poohs. I have attached a pic. None of my hens are lethargic. They all seem to have good appetites. The love in a coop and pen but quite often spend time in my large garden. I have looked at pooh charts and there is one on it that comes from the caecum. I am concerned as it seems quite regular. Could it be worms or something else ?

Can you take a sample to your vet for testing of worms?

Cecal poop can come in all forms and color. It's really hard to know just by looking at a picture, but I foamy yellow(ish) poop like that could be an indication of worms, but testing will give you a definite answer.
