They will do poos like this, about every 1 in 10, it is a normal byproduct of the egg laying process. Providing they are doing normal poos in between (olive green with a white topping) then they are fine. If they are pooing like that all the time, and the probiotics haven't helped, you may need to see a vet for antibiotics. To be honest though, they do look like normal 'curry' poos.

thank you for reply this has been happenihg for 1 month and thats how long we have had them they are not laying eggs yet so do you think a month is a long time or is that a normal amount of time thanx again.

They should only do the chip shop curry sauce poos once every ten poos or so.

 

Have you wormed them recently? That might be worth a go.

 

I'd also suggest keeping them on just pellets and water for a few days.

 

Avipro added to their drinking water is another good way of getting probiotics into them.

 

Available online.

no not every ten its every single poo..........

Have they been wormed? As Egluntine suggests, I'd give that a try (lots of info. on forum) and see if it makes a difference.

they have been wormed with flubvent over a week ago........

Perhaps if you have tried all home available remedies, a trip to the vet is needed? Sometimes they can have just a low grade infection that won't clear up (in my vast experience of 2 with squits at dif times! )

[Egluntyne]

A trip to the vet is probably a good idea.

think i will try the vets will let you know
