Yellow urates; red comb and wattles

Another bit of drama to add to this story. I came in last night and found bright green poop in the cage where this chicken was being held. It was only the fluid around the poop that was bright (and I mean fluorescent) green.

I asked my husband where that came from. He said she pooped it out.

Then this morning, we put her out in a makeshift run where she could be seen and heard by the flock and get some outside time and I moved the cage to clean up some poop that had gotten to the floor. I find a couple of pieces of my devil's ivy plant on the floor. I am thinking she may have pecked at this and that is what caused the bright green.

I know this plant is "mildly" toxic, but I am not sure this is what caused the green poop. She is eating/drinking today. She had some egg, some oatmeal and is pecking at her crumble.

Fecal float test was negative.

She has a friend sitting with her outside in a makeshift habitat. This friends seems to not be handling the heat so well. Will bring them in when the sun hits the side of the house they are in.

Usually the bright green poop means they're not eating enough. Try adding some cool water to her food. It will soak it up and create a mash. It usually works well for me. Helps hydrate them, cools them down, and they love the mash so they'll eat more.

Normally, I would agree with you, but the poop itself wasn't green - it was brown. The liquid that accompanied the poop was green. They both have mushy food in the cage. They are choosing only to eat the egg/oatmeal/watermelon.

She did eat a lot of watermelon yesterday, so that gives a reason for the amount of water in her poop, but doesn't explain the bright green that colored the water.
