Yellow Urates in Otherwise Normal Poo

[arast]

Unfortunately, the scratch, mealworms, and birdseed are being WAY overdone. I had a pullet die of Fatty Liver Hemorrhagic Syndrome because she got overfed mealworms. You can read about it here. For 5 hens, that's way too many treats. @Kiki , I know this is your level of expertise. Want to step in?

So I’m killing my chickens with love...(feeding =love)... is it too late to reverse it? .

Don't feel too bad! I did the exact same thing you're doing. Stop feeding as much scratch, mealworms, and other treats- this dilutes the nutrients that the birds need. Continue letting them free range to exercise them. I'll wait to see what Kiki says if she replies to this thread. Good luck! I know exactly how you feel.

Thank you for your advice and your kindness. That means a lot. I will follow your advice and hope for the best... should I bring them to a vet?

Right now, I'd wait until the experts can give you a little more advice. I'd say no, but I' an amateur

I have seen those in hens with ascites or egg yolk peritonitis.

And in roosters?.. maybe Ecoli or Coccidiosis

 

[Eggcessive]

Yes, probably E.coli, or in young chickens, it could be coccidiosis. It is best to get a fecal float to make sure.

Not for certain, but I stopped with the excessive treats and gave them more free-range time/exercise, and after some time it went away. They may be healing….
