Larkspurs Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 Hi all. I'm just wondering if my diagnosis is right! One of our new hens, Pecks, dropped this amazingly yellow, foamy poo. I looked on the forum that has a list of all poos and it looks to me like it could be a Caecal one... would you agree? (Sorry for the blurry pic btw) No other symptoms, eating and drinking well, seems ok in herself etc. Cheers, John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 (edited) I saw a couple of those yellow ones in our garden today - I'd say clearout poo, definitely! Edited January 25, 2009 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 Every 10th poo or so is a caecal one and looks like chip shop curry sauce. And if you ever tread it into the house you will know about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ygerna Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 One of my girls did one of those yesteday about a foot from me as I was cleaning the run out I can honestly say Ive not smelt anything like it. Thank goodness Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larkspurs Posted January 25, 2009 Author Share Posted January 25, 2009 What surprised me was the fact I hadn't seen any like it before but then looking at that list of poos the caecal ones can even look normal so that explains that. (I'm such a newbie hehe) And it was a bit whiffy, Thanks everyone for reassuring me. Cheers, John. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 So long as the hen is only doing them once in a while, it's OK. Constant poos like that need investigating though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larkspurs Posted January 26, 2009 Author Share Posted January 26, 2009 Thanks Claret. We've checked today and all is well, there were two poos like that yesterday probably from the same hen but we can't be sure. We'll keep an eye open though.
